until now i have tried to generate files with a compatible naming
scheme with offlineimap. As i understood this is the only way, or can
offlineimap communicate directly with the local imap-server?

This is my config:

[general]
accounts = fastmail
ui = Curses.Blinkenlights
maxsyncaccounts = 3

[Account fastmail]
localrepository = MailLocal
remoterepository = MailRemote

[Repository MailLocal]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Maildir
sep = /

[Repository MailRemote]
type = IMAP
ssl = yes
remotehost = mail.messagingengine.com
remoteuser = xxx
remotepass = xxx
maxconnections = 3
nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX\.*', '.', foldername)

Offlineimap should copy the mails to ~/Maildir and courier will use
this folder as local imap-server.

Cheers,
