Yes, it isn't really a service name (i.e. from /etc/services), but a
unique identifier. This allows you to assign names for multiple
configurations of the same network service, so you can manipulate them
separately in imapd.conf. I'm sorry I didn't see that in your original
post. You need to fix this for all of the services you've duplicated.
In practice, this allows you to preface certain configuration directives
with the unique service name. For example, you might set a global TLS
key that all services will use by default:
tls_key_file: /etc/ssl/imapd.key
But you might also have a uniquely named imapd that uses a different key:
imapdlo_tls_key_file: /etc/ssl/imapdlo.key
In cyrus.conf, this alternate imapd might coexist with your regular
imapd like this:
imap cmd="imapd" listen="192.168.1.4:imap" prefork=0
imapdlo cmd="imapd" listen="127.0.0.1:imap" prefork=0
Note that the listen parameter uses the actual service name defined in
/etc/services.
