Your userdb and passdb are not using the same DB: did you intend this?
Does the userdb have "user at domain" entries, rather than just "user"
entries?  The diagnostics I referred to in my last post would have been
helpful here.

If you're having problems authenticating to the IMAP service, then you
ought to concentrate on that problem: it's likely your LDA problem is
dependent on that solution.
