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.
