But this woun´t work if the maildir has been modified outside of dovecot (i.e. webmail usage). Are there any simple interface I can use in this short snippet for noticing that the index is out of sync, and update it ?

With v2.0 you could use doveadm easily (you can also just use doveadm binary from v2.0 and keep using v1.2 elsewhere):

doveadm mailbox status unseen inbox

If you're actually running v2.0 you can also ask this information via UNIX/TCP socket.
