"2" is probably ENOENT, so there's nothing listening on the socket.

So the imapd can't talk to the idled.

Did you use idled in the past, but stop using it?  In which case, you
probably need to manually remove the socket from the file-system; if the
socket doesn't exist, the warning shouldn't happen and imapd will
quietly just use polling.  The location is either that configured by
the imapd.conf option "idlesocket" or, if that option is not in the
config file, is "{configdirectory}/socket/idle" for whatever the value
of the "configdirectory" option is.

Are you expecting to use idled?  If so, is it configured in cyrus.conf
under START?  Is it still running (use "ps") or has it crashed?
