All right it works!
dsync is sometimes not soooo stable but the imap server is... so why do a converting oder something 
like that not always via this way?
(echo "1 select .NCarchiv/tsdauche"; echo "2 copy 1:* INBOX"; echo "3 logout")| su tsdauche -c 
"/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap"
and after that you can delte the old box...
(echo "1 select .NCarchiv/tsdauche"; echo "2 delete .NCarchiv/tsdauche";  echo "3 logout")| su 
tsdauche -c "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap"

so there are no faults and no problems with converting and merging boxes...
thanks for that hint timo!
bye
