No, and I don't think it's really the right way to do this.. So it sounds like 
you want automatic archiving of mails. I suppose expire plugin would be a good 
solution for this, it would just need a new feature to move mails instead of 
expunge or altmove.

Hi Timo!
Thanks for your answer, it's bad to hear that my conception won't work because automatic archiving of mails from standard folders would be a great feature and i suppose there are many admins interested in such solution.

I'm not a programmer and don't know if such feature is hard to code but theoretically extended expire plugin could work in that way. It could use new variable f.e. ARCHIVE (similar to ALT ) to select location for archive and i think ALT and ARCHIVE could exclude each other from using together (for easier implementation, ARCHIVE can play role of ALT with such difference that it's contents wouldn't show in standard INBOX and rest of standard folders.).

Are there any chances to implement such functionality into dovecot in near future (4-5 months or so) ?

Best regards!
