	Neither do I. I decided to re-enable pop3 (which I don't use or allow, 
and had recently commented out) in cyrus.conf and restarted cyrus-imapd, 
and IMAP/SSL is working again! I commented it out and restarted Cyrus, 
and port 993 is still working.

	I'd say I just needed to restart the daemon, except I rebooted Saturday 
night after port 993 stopped working, so I don't know what's up.

	One interesting & odd data point: after "service cyrus-imapd stop", I 
still had a couple active connections to an imap daemon which was 
listening on port 993. I killed the process, but again that couldn't 
have persisted across the reboot I performed 1d19h ago.

	Bizarre! Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
