And please let me add that the example in 
"dovecot-1.0.rc31/doc/wiki/Plugins.Convert.txt" reads

| UW-IMAP conversion
| ------------------
| 
| If your mailboxes exist in home directory among other files, you'll need to
| use:
| 
| plugin {
|   convert_mail = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
|   convert_skip_broken_mailboxes=yes


Currently this doesn't work :-(
