these imap daemons run out of inetd|xinetd which is was causes 
connection problems. cyrus has a master process, it's called master 
which listens for incoming imap,imaps,pop,pops,seive,lmtp connections 
and spawns processes as needed. you can also defign a number of prefork 
processes so that there are always imap process waiting for incoming 
connections. very nice if you server is getting hammered.
