No :-) this is part of Maildir
Well, yes: patch Dovecot's sources.

What are you mean with "move"? The move from "new" to
"cur", when the
message has been seen? Or the "rename" of the filename for status /
keyword change?
==
Maildir defines the delivery process as:
1) create the file in "tmp/"
2) dump all data into it, hence, close it
3) rename() the file into "new" or "cur".
4) be done with the file (aka don't try to re-open)
There is no race-condition that way.
