First thing is that you have a logic problem.
you're saying "until" $pst,
the you read & set dump, and then don't reset what pst is??
How would that ever work??

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

print " \n\n\t Enter the dump filename:\c"; read dump
    pst=${dump##*.}

    until [ $pst = dmp ] 
    do
        print " \n\n\t File extension not supported.!!!"
        print " \n\n\t Enter the dump filename(eg:abc.dmp):\c"
        read dump
        pst=${dump##*.}
    done

notmuch-restore

NOTMUCH-RESTORE(1)					      General Commands Manual						NOTMUCH-RESTORE(1)

NAME

       notmuch-restore - Restores the tags from the given file (see notmuch dump).

SYNOPSIS

       notmuch restore [--accumulate] [ <filename> ]

DESCRIPTION

       Restores the tags from the given file (see notmuch dump).

       The input is read from the given filename, if any, or from stdin.

       Note:  The dump file format is specifically chosen to be compatible with the format of files produced by sup-dump.  So if you've previously
       been using sup for mail, then the notmuch restore command provides you a way to import all of your tags (or labels as sup calls them).

       The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as  they  are
       read in from the dump file.

       See notmuch-search-terms(7) for details of the supported syntax for <search-terms>.

       notmuch	restore  updates  the maildir flags according to tag changes if the maildir.synchronize_flags configuration option is enabled. See
       notmuch-config(1) for details.
