What is a "corrupted mailbox"? There's no such thing really with mbox or
maildir. Except if mbox doesn't begin with a valid From-line, then it's
treated as not a valid mbox..

Dovecot's index files might get corrupted, but normally they're fixed
automatically. If not, just delete them and they get rebuilt.
