[Dovecot] is there a script to find a message from a given username easily?

[Gary Kline]

	Hello people,

	I used primarily mutt and sendmail for many years.  (And elm
	before mutt.)  All my mail was saved into ~/Mail.  Messages
	from, say, smith at foo.ber were stored in ~/Mail/smith; all mail
	from smith was catenated into one file, and if I wanted to
	find something that smith had written, I would just cd to
	~/Mail and grep or egrep on a likely word or phrase.

	Is there a script that can reach into my server into My
	maildirectory and cp or symlink (say) ~/Maildir/smith's files:

	into somthing named ~/Mail/smith, with all files catted
	together?  

	tia,
