If the box is truly unresponsive, i.e. hard locked, then the corrupted indexes are only a symptom of the underlying problem, which is unrelated to Dovecot, UNLESS, the lack of responsiveness was due to massive disk access, which will occur when rebuilding indexes on a 6.6GB mailbox. You need to know the difference so we have accurate information to troubleshoot with.
Hmmm... I wonder would it be possible for dovecot to automatically lower the 'niceness' for index rebuilds (on systems that support such) to avoid causing such distress?
