ok, done that. I get this in 
Error: chdir(/var/spool/vhosts/xyz.de/archiv) failed: Not a directory
Error: sieve: failed to stat sieve script: stat(/var/spool/vhosts/xyz.de/archiv/.dovecot.sieve) failed: Not a directory
Error: sieve: failed to access user's sieve script ~/.dovecot.sieve (using default script location instead)

I guess, this is just normal for mboxes? archiv at xyz.de is a mbox, per bcc
serviced by postfix.
