Yes, obviously clients can save messages. I meant: to modify messages in
bulk, on the server, replacing the existing message bodies stored by
Dovecot.

Is there a safe way to modify the contents of emails stored by
Dovecot? I'll probably only want to change the message bodies, not the
headers, if that matters. Looking for ways to do this both for
existing emails and new emails as they are received (though anything
that works for existing emails can probably just be run again for new
emails.) My mail storage is currently mdbox, but I could migrate to
another format if that helps.
You could just view the message in your MUA and then save it to another
drive, or whatever. Then, using a text editor, you could modify it to
your hearts content.
Exactly, what problem are you trying to address?
