You then need to make sure the server is running. The error message "cyradm: cannot connect to server" can indicate that you don't have the imap service running. You should be able to see something similar to:
# lsof -i | egrep 'PID|imap' | egrep 'PID|LIST' COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME master 26691 cyrus 5u IPv4 172199 TCP localhost:imap (LISTEN) master 26691 cyrus 10u IPv6 172202 TCP localhost:imap (LISTEN) master 26691 cyrus 13u IPv6 172206 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) master 26691 cyrus 16u IPv4 172209 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) imapd 26782 cyrus 4u IPv6 172206 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) imapd 26791 cyrus 4u IPv6 172206 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) imapd 26792 cyrus 4u IPv6 172206 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) imapd 26833 cyrus 4u IPv4 172209 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) imapd 26836 cyrus 4u IPv4 172209 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) imapd 27712 cyrus 4u IPv4 172209 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) imapd 27789 cyrus 4u IPv4 172209 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) imapd 27842 cyrus 4u IPv4 172209 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) imapd 28451 cyrus 4u IPv4 172209 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) imapd 28452 cyrus 4u IPv4 172209 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) imapd 28460 cyrus 4u IPv4 172209 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) If you don't see the "master" process listening to 143/tcp, then cyradm will never work (it connects to this process to manage the server). Also, at least with the version I'm running, cyradm does NOT support unencrypted connections. So I have imap listening to 143/tcp on localhost with the following in my '/etc/cyrus.conf' file: imap cmd="imapd" listen="localhost:imap" prefork=0 Good luck!
