Thanks Matthew,
such thing could do it. I may setup my procmail-process to write a
separate directory with Maildir-mails. And access them with
courier-imap. 

I think the mbox-files anyway wont go together with IMAP. IMAP just
sucks the headers from the server and the rest of the email on demand. I
think so, at least.
