In what way is it not working? Based on the timestamps in your log, it 
looks like you're getting disconnected as soon as you log in. But, does 
Dovecot work for you without the convert plugin?

It also seems a little odd that you're using the plugin under POP3, rather 
than IMAP (it's not listed in mail_plugins(imap)), given POP3's limited 
concept of "mailboxes"/directories/etc. But, I don't know that that's 
problematic.

Best,
Ben
