Gionatan,
I believe the tool you're looking for is 'mbtool' From the man page:
DESCRIPTION
mbtool is a tool for performing various actions on the indexes of a
list of mailboxes. The only actions currently supported are -t, which
will normalize the internaldate time stamp of each record in the index
to GMT, and -r which will create a new unique ID for each mailbox.
...
-t Normalize internaldate on all index records of all listed mail‐
boxes to match the Date: header if theyâre off by more than a
day, which can be used to fix up a mailbox which has been re‐
stored from backup and lost its internaldate information.
...
EXAMPLES*mbtool -t* user.jsmith
Normalize |internaldate| on all index records in /user.jsmith/.
Working on user.jsmith...
