this is a good one. Ok. I should have been more precise. :-) googling
takes a long time to find and sort the information and the hints I got
are from google.
So my question:
Has anybody switched a system from mbox to maildir? If so, whitch
steps are necessary?

Look at:

and download the script.
Note that after converting your mbox, you will also have to configure
dovecot to use the maildir format for future messages. Probably, you
want to do all this with dovecot stopped. :-)
