dovecot - Mar 2012 - Extracting mbox format from Dovecot IMAP (mdbox)

Hi,

I'm looking for a quick tool that can connect to my IMAP account grab 
all the messages in a particular folder and dump them to a mbox format file?

Anyone know a quick easy tool to do that?

This is a spam folder that I'd like to do some Bayes spam learning on, 
but since I've migrated to mdbox I don't think I can do this directly on
the mailbox.

Any thoughts appreciated.

With v2.0: dsync -m spam backup mbox:~/mbox-mails/

There are also doveadm move and doveadm import commands that can do
this.
