does anybody know, if there is a way to use several loadbalanced Courier-IMAP servers?

Yes - use a shared NFS backend between them.

If you don't want to use NFS, and you're only interested in POP3, you might like to look at this (but I've not used it myself): http://www.i2pi.com/smunge/

It's a proxy which lets you redirect users to a particular POP3 server based on their username or an LDAP attribute.

At worst, you can use DNS tricks (e.g. user "fred" connects to pop3.fred.example.com, and you point this at the particular box which holds fred's mail)
