Actually, it is *eminently* possible - so long as it is triggered by a 'live' delivery run (not a verify = recipients). Don't lose sight, however, of the need for more than one type of MUA to recover the contents with POP, IMAP, or both by turns (and/or webmail). Not all MUA can do so, and even fewer will do so with 'default' settings for IMAP. Maildirmake OR Exim - you may be creating a maintenance headache for yourself.
