dovecot - Feb 2011 - Recover a deleted message in MDBOX format ?

Hello

Every night a backup of all mailboxes is performed to a NFS mounted 
partition

All our mailboxes are now in MDBOX format.

I wonder how it would be possible to recover one  email accidentally
deleted by a user ?

It was easy in MBOX format to extract and save it using mutt ( as root )
from the backuped mbox then re-copy it to the user's mbox.

Of course I should access to the backup mailboxes space using thunderbird
but doing this I need to know every users's passwords, that is unacceptable.
for security and privacy reasons.

Let users access to the backup space is not possible of course.

Is there a tool ?

Thanks

OK I found doveadm after posting ...

sorry
