That's because in private namespaces user owns the mails, and
"authenticated" doesn't reduce the user's privileges. You could use
"owner" instead.
Also I don't think you should use ACLs at all here. It's easier and more
secure to just make /var/mail/virtual non-writable to imap process. For
example change file/dir owners to root and make them world-readable.
