You forgot to give us your imap.conf :-)

Depending on your configuration (unixhierachy and virtualdomain) the
good notation for your mailbox could be

user/roboeb at yourdomain.com
user/roboeb

or (but I have not the use of this format, and I'm not sure)

user.roboeb
yourdomain.com!user.roboeb (realy not sure)
