Is there a way to manually force an mdbox storage to be rebuilt into new files? Particularly files of the maximum size?

dsync seems to do a marvelous job - new question.?
Given a mailbox with a larger number of older mails - assuming any new mails will have later dates - will the new mail storage files be identical? I'm probably not saying the right - let me try this:
- "dsync backup mdbox" (with appropriate args) is run for a given user.
- "dsync mirror mdbox" is done just to catch up.
- Old mailstore moved off.
- New mailstore moved to active location.
I'm sure there's a safer way to do the above - but I've got a low-traffic site and I can just shut down mail service altogether for a few minutes if I want during this.
Now - repeat the above four steps. Will mail files m.1 through m.(n-1) be identical to the last run? Is this a valid packing strategy prior to performing an rsync type backup - assuming no changes are being made to the archived mails between pack runs?
