UID to file?

[Carles Pina i Estany]

Hello,

In the past I was in a situation that given an email UID I wanted to
know which file in the Maildir directory this UID was saved.

I did a small parser for $HOME/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist where, if the
file had:

1000 W1838 S1796 :1557351041.10447_1.example

I would ask for the UID 1000 and would return
:1557351041.10447_1.example (and I knew that it was in
$HOME/Maildir/new)

Is there any other way using dovecot tools to do the same, to avoid
parsing an internal dovecot file?

Thank you!
