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.
