Initial Code 
for file in `grep -lr 'Subject: Undelivered' /path/to/Maildir/cur`; 
    do 
    mv $file /path/to/backup/; 
done
Initial URL 

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Description
                                        

                                    

                                    
Move all mails with a certain subject (in this case starting with the word "Undelivered" into a backup dir.
It is by no means a mail filter, I needed it to clean out the maildirectory after a HDD crash wich caused over 1000000 (one million) local bouces and thus Undelivered mails and stuff.

Move all mails with a certain subject into a backup dir.
