Does it work when you login as any other user? If so, edit /etc/aliases
to send root's mail to another user.

I've seen the exact same error message when the IMAP directory either
does not exist or the permissions deny access to that directory.

Probably directory permissions. You'd be better off aliasing the root
mail account to a regular user account. That should fix any
access/permission problems.
