dbox format needs at least two tools:
1. Expunging only marks the message having refcount=0. The actual disk

2. Ability to force index resync/rebuild in case it doesn't figure out
itself that there's something wrong.
I'm starting to think about building a more generic mailutil tool, maybe
something similar to what UW-IMAP has. So two questions:
- What should the tool be called? Probably not mailutil to avoid
confusion. doveutil? dovemail? dovetool? mailtool?
- Is there any functionality you'd like it to do?
Did anything like this end up being implemented? We are in the middle of
migrating a bunch of people from local storage (pop) to server side
storage using imap. It would be really useful to be able to tell dovecot
to index a particular maildir after we have copied it onto the server to
save our users opening up their shiny new mail client and clicking on
all their folders and loading up the server indexing a hundred maildirs
at once.
