Hmm, not sure. Sometimes it goes down with me too:
-------
server:~# while true; do pgrep imapd | wc -l ; sleep 60; done
125
126
126
125
125
125
126
-------

There are only 5 devices connected, so this are too many processes. And
it become more and more, this afternoon it where 73.

Maybe somebody here knows more.

Do you also use Cyrus Imapd 2.5.10 from Debian stable? I have many
machines with an older version of Cyrus Imapd who are running without
problems.
