I'm not familiar with using mkimap (if I've ever used it, I've forgotten), but I would double check to be sure that the user/group under which the imap server is the user/group that owns all of the server's files. Not only does the server need file system permissions in the /var/spool/imap partition, it needs similar permission in /var/imap to manipulate various resources such as mailboxes.db.
