dovecot-tool

+ (re-)index selected mailboxes, maybe recursively, based on mailbox 
and/or possibly corrupted, existing indexes
+ remove/sanitize (user-) flags from mailboxes
+ acl evaluator / tester / "effective rights of user XYZ"
+ hm, if you have a non-common storage, like dbox, you will require 
maintainance, like sanitize defective files (or duplicate/recover messages 
into another mailbox, so you can remove the old one)
+ transform messages from one storage format into another, keeping all 
IMAP-related information, e.g. to find duplicate or unwanted messages 
across mailboxes/users.
