[Dovecot] Put existing mails (in Maildir) through sieve filter?

Hello list,

the scenario: A user has about 30k mails in his Maildir (all in INBOX) and needs to apply filtering. Provided he writes a working .dovecot.sieve script, is there a way to put all those already delivered mails through Dovecot's LDA and thus have the sieve filter rules applied? Or is there any other way to apply sieve rules to already delivered mails?

TIA

Andreas
