off topic at dovecot but

here is a solution with homebrew postfix/dovecot blog

https://blog.sys4.de/mailarchiv-mit-dovecot-und-postfix-sortiert-nach-datum-mailadressen-und-ein-ausgehend-unterordnern-de.html

a good idea is to use maildir  for archive / every mail is a file ,you 
can hash too, depend on how much you have to store you need a storage 
which should work over years

however you should/prefer use a prof solution

something like

https://www.mailstore.com

cause of legally reasons
