dovecot - Aug 2010 - Searching dovecot Maildir

Hi All,

Loving Dovecot after several years with Cyrus.

This might be more a general question, but this seemed the best place to
ask.

The idea is to just add up all the values of quotes I've sent in a month.

I want to search my Sent mail folder for all messages with a certain
subject, then "grep" out a certain line that has a dollar ($) figure,
and
add up those figures.  The idea is to just add up all the values of quotes
I've sent in a month.

Can it be done?

Any help appreciated.
regards,
Murray

Dovecot 1.2.6

a) Do it via IMAP protocol by using some IMAP library for Perl/Python/whatever.

b) Upgrade to Dovecot v2.0.0 and do it via doveadm:
doveadm fetch body mailbox Sent subject something body $ | grep '\$' |
etc script processing

Thanks Jerrale,

I'm currently running the following dovecot packages:

dovecot-plugins-sieve-1.2.6-1.1mdv2010.0
dovecot-1.2.6-1.1mdv2010.0

I don't use mysql with dovecot.  I do use sieve.  Any help with the 2.0
packages very much appreciated.

regards,
Murray
