Imapsync itself is a great tool. I find the price of 42.00 EUR bit high to have to move “only just” quickly a mailbox with a few hunder MB.
Thanks to google the problem is solved….

And now a simple
imapsync --host1 HOST1 --user1 USER1 --password1 PWD1 --host2 HOST2 --user2 USER2 --password2 PWD2 --authmech1 PLAIN --authmech2 PLAIN --nofoldersizes --useheader Message-ID --fast
is no problem anymore.
Last but not least some credits. The Repositories were found here, for finetuning imapsync i found some useful hints at Tonis Blog.
Imapsync can also be installed from source:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
