Well, I experimented with one account and found that you get errors
if you try to actually access the mailbox while it's being moved:
May 24 13:10:42 lvr13 imap[16707]: IOERROR: stating header for
user.xxx: No such file or directory
But I suppose the risk of that is low when doing it around 3am.
Further, lmtpd will correctly retry those errors. imapd may give an
error to the user agent, briefly, but the error is such that no mail
will be lost. So, in terms of usability, there's a low risk of the
user getting a "weird" error. In terms of destroying mail,
corrupting mailboxes, etc, there doesn't seem to be a risk.
