Drafts/dbox-Mails/u.11 I get the following output 2 M1e C4daa51f6 N 000000000000030A �Tmo�6��_q�0`�B�r�D�� ��tF�5Xܵ�HI'��D��T��=*^�u��M�A�x/�=ωE .. As it is quite evident, the output is in binary format, but I need it in text (even if that means I use some other command and pipe the output to cat / grep / sed) -- can this be done?
The output is binary because the mail is stored compressed. Otherwise it would have been in text.
This server was configured and maintained by someone else, and I am very new to dovecot or this dbox format (I used to use courier-imap). would appreciate if anyone could please suggest what could/should be done to get to my objectives. All pointers/suggestions appreciated.
man doveadm-fetch man doveadm-search-query
example: doveadm fetch -u user 'uid text' mailbox INBOX body "hello world"
