Checking index sanity

Hello
We experienced corrupted dovecot indexes, probably caused by a server
crash. This does not cause a lot of harm, just annoyance. For instance,
LMTP raises an assertion during delivery, which causes mail to multiple
recipients e-mail to remain in the queue if a single of them hits a
corrupted index.
The workaround for now is to detect the situation in the logs and to remove
corrupted indexes when the problem arise.
A better fix would be to sanity check all user's index on startup. Is
there a command line tool to do this?
