Thanks for pointing the right direction.

I have set
default_vsz_limit = 16M
and it works.

And a short question, possible i should make a new thread, but i think 
it's a little config issue from me.

Can i prevent dovecot from making new dirs?
Because i have one draft and one entwürfe dir, also one trash and one 
papierkorb. one german, one english. the dirs are always created new, 
after i delete them.

thanks and regards Michael
