This can happen because of numerous reasons. Look, cyrus' master process acts a bit like superdaemons as inetd/xinetd are. It sits on the configured ports (see /etc/cyrus.conf for them) and upon incoming connection it starts up the configured processes like lmtpd, imapd etc. and hands the connection over to them. So the problem you face here is: master cannot start up the process at port "imap". Look up /etc/cyrus.conf which process that is (presumably "<somepath>/imapd"). Does this file exist? Can it be invoked with *exactly* the command line you specified in /etc/cyrus.conf? What does your log files show? It is most common - I had it often myself - that there are hickups in imapd's config file. Regards, Birger
