What kind of problem do you see?
The idea behind the volatile/ directory is that you can put it on tmpfs
for performance reason if you like and the files there are saved to
/var/lib/imap/ on shutdown and restored from there on startup.
And yes, that's Invoca rpm specific.

Why? Are there any problems?
