I would do this by scripting IMAP access. Perl's Mail::IMAPClient has explicit support for running dovecot/imap in preauth mode, so you don't even have to authenticate. Of course, you need a Dovecot user account with access to all the relevant messages.

Thanks so much for your help! This sounds like a great option to me.

For "explicit" support, I'm having a lot of trouble finding out how to have Mail::IMAPClient invoke /usr/lib/dovecot/imap instead of connecting over the network -- could you provide any pointers?
