First, unless you have some specific need not to, you should probably  
be using Application/IMP authentication since you are authenticating  
to the same IMAP server anyway.

Second, you most likely have not correctly configured  
imp/config/backends.local.php propertly. Look at the 'hordeauth'  
parameter.
