is there a way to process a mailbox through an existing sieve script as it the mail was being delivered anew?

I’ve cleaned up a lot of my list-sorting scripts and I would like to process a bunch of mail again so it gets sorted properly.

If I can do this could I also do it for a specific date range?

For example, let’s say io want to reprocess all the messages that are in “Archive” from between 20190501 and 20190630?

Note that with 2.2.36 / 2.3.2 you can use 'a UID FILTER' command which accepts sieve script name or sieve script and search query. Which is basically what you are looking for.
