grepmail: http://grepmail.sourceforge.net/

deal with compressed mail folders and will recurse as well so at worst
you can do:

grepmail whatever ~mail/*

and then 

grepm: http://www.barsnick.net/sw/grepm.html

which opens the results in mutt (although there are equivalents for
other MUAs...)

and it's perl. (although not really looked at the code[0] so might be
perl with XS bits for speed...)
