Can you "doveadm search" with mailbox location instead of a user (-u option)?

Awesome. Maybe the usage output

 # /opt/dovecot/bin/doveadm search
 doveadm search [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] <search query>


should then not tell the user that "-u" needs to be given or better
explain that "-o mail=" is also a valid way to define which mailbox.



Thanks again Timo for one versatile piece of good software!
