Three things:

1) You need unix hierarchysep turned on otherwise the above
is seen as user.jungle at foo.bar that is to say "bar" underneath
jungle at foo's INBOX.

2) To create the SASL user do: saslpasswd2 -c -u foo.bar jungle

3) foo.bar must be listed in the "loginrealms" field in your imapd.conf
