notmuch appears to match specific date/times:
date:<since>..<until> or date:<date>
DATE AND TIME SEARCH
notmuch understands a variety of standard and
natural ways of expressing dates and times, both in
absolute terms ("2012-10-24") and in relative terms
("yesterday"). Any number of relative terms can be
combined ("1 hour 25 minutes") and an absolute date/time
can be combined with relative terms to further adjust it.
The range expression
[...]
If specifying a time range using timestamps in
conjunction with the date prefix, each timestamp must be
preceded by @ (ASCII hex 40). As above, each timestamp
is a number representing the number of seconds since
1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. For example:
date:@<initial-timestamp>..@<final-timestamp>
[...]
Single expression
date:<expr> works as a shorthand for date:<expr>..<expr>.
For example, date:monday matches from the beginning of
Monday until the end of Monday.
