find doesn't read from standard input, that's why. find doesn't read text at all, really -- find searches folders for files, not files for strings.
grep or awk would be more suitable for extracting data from a file.
I think your data got garbled, all the linefeeds ripped out. Could you post again with the linefeeds, and put it in code tags?

rpdump(1) General Commands Manual rpdump(1)
NAME
rpdump - alpine remote data utility
SYNTAX
rpdump [ -f ] -l Local_file -r Remote_folder
DESCRIPTION
Rpdump may be used to copy the actual data from remote Alpine configuration files or address books into a local file. It is intended to be
used by system administrators. Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.
Local_file will normally be a local temporary file. Remote_folder is the IMAP folder being used as a remote Alpine configuration (with the
help of Alpine's -P, -p, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) or remote Alpine address book folder. A
copy of the data from Remote_folder will be copied to Local_file.
-f Force the dump even if the remote folder is in an unrecognized format.
-l Local_file The file on this system that is to be copied to.
-r Remote_folder A remote folder name to be copied from. See the Alpine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name. One
example is
{my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
