No, the cyradm command doesn't work with imaps.

You need to run a second imapd server to connect to with cyradm.
This second server runs only for cyradm

Add this line to cyrus.conf:

imaplocal cmd="imapd -C /etc/imapd-local.conf" listen="127.0.0.1:imap" 
prefork=0

and the imapd-local.conf (you can choose any else name) needs to look 
like that:

The comment are in french but you don't need to copy them

Hoppe this can help you
