Is it possible that your (x)inetd.conf file has an uncommented imap server 
entry where the UW IMAP server is still configured to accept imap 
connections? Based on what you've said about what's actually happening when 
you use cyradm to connect to the imap server, I'd suspect that the Cyrus 
IMAP server isn't even being connected to.

Hope this helps,
Will
