This is the solution to a different problem, due to how procmail was
being used to deliver mail. If your mailboxes are getting corrupted as
you describe, you really need to find the source of that problem and
address that. (First place to start - turn off server mode; second
place - figure out if your programs are all using the same lock
mechanism.)
If you're just asking for a "quick-and-dirty" way to repair a single
mailbox which got corrupted... you'd have to try it, but I think
formail will also object to the corrupted mailbox. I've found vi (or
emacs, name your poison) to be the best way to fix it.
