There's your problem.

$default->folders is for use with other IMAP servers (such as UWash) 
which allow direct access to the mailbox folder in the user's home 
directory.

With Cyrus IMAP, which sets up its own internal directory structure 
which is completely transparent to the mail client (and completely 
separate from user accounts), set:

$default->folders						= '';

Later in your defaults.php3 file should be another line, which you 
want to change to read:

$default->personal_folders				= 'INBOX.'; 

That should do it.
