Tried
sam user.diego diego lrswipcda
No luck
I created a couple of new folders and they work just fine. Copied some mails to those folders and no problem.
permissions to those folders are exactly the same as everything under /var/spool/imap

Just used ctl_mboxlist -d to see if the user's mailboxes were actually in
