I found out the solution.

>From man imapd.conf

      defaultpartition: <none>
            The partition name used by default for new mailboxes.  If
not specified, the partition with the most free space will be used for
new mailboxes.

            Note that the partition specified by this option must also
be specified as partition-name, where you substitute 'name' for the
alphanumeric string you set defaultpartition to.

In /etc/imapd.conf the line

defaultpartition: default

Was missing.
