OK - solved it.

Here my solution:

,----
| 1) I downloaded a script is from
|    [[https://github.com/igor47/mailtools/blob/master/mbox2maildir.py]] and
|    named it =conv.pl=
| 
| 2) I run it together with =find= to iterate through all mbox files
|   
|    mkdir ./Maildir
|    find . -name "MATCHING_THE_MBOX_FILES" -exec ./conv.pl {} ./Maildir/ \;
|
| 
| 3) The files are created in =./Maildir/new=. 
| 
| 4) I then moved them to my maildir used by dovecot
| 
| mv ./Maildir/new ~/Maildir/TARGETFOLDER/new
`----

And in gnus they showed op as new mails in the maildir.

Cheers,

Rainer
