Try as we may (--dry-run), it still won't tell us where it intends to put the files,

$ rsync --dry-run --remove-source-files --relative --verbose --itemize-changes -Cavz Maildir/new /tmp/
sending incremental file list

Guess we'll just have to cross our fingers...

rsync  version 3.1.2  protocol version 31

(In fact there is no option to show where the files will go,
--dry-run or not.)
