Chris,
For what it's worth, you might have better luck posting to the Info
Cyrus list, rather than the Developers list. You can find the Info list
here: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/info
That list's email is i...@cyrus.topicbox.com
The readership of the Devel list is almost exclusively developers, who's
experience administering Cyrus is likely vastly different than your
own. Readers of the Info list are Cyrus Admins, mostly, and much more
in line with subjects you're dealing with.
Just my 2 cents...

Hi J.,
Did you follow the upgrade guide?
https://www.cyrusimap.org/3.6/imap/download/upgrade.html
obviously I did not read it as carefully as you might expect. Else I
would not have run into any trouble.
On the other hand, the upgrade to 3.6 is so tricky that only a
full-time-admin can invest this much time especially considering this
in a Debian way of Upgrading: Are you sure, that the Debian
install-script is shutting down cyrus carefully and not starting it in
post-install? Some years ago, the upgrade was failing, because I shot
down cyrus manually and the pre-install-script was expecting a running
cyrus to be able to shutsdown. So beside of the cyrus documentation
you have to consider the maintainers thoughts on this topic.
In the end, if you want to use cyrus on Debian I'd recommend to remove
the Debian packages and install vanilla from tarball. Then you have to
follow the 3.6-upgrade docs "only". And you know, you are on your own.
Then it's also an easy thing follow the guide:
1. Upgrade 3.2.6-2+deb11u2 to 3.2.10 (where there is no package in the
repository)
2. Upgrade 3.2.10 to 3.6.latest (as Дилян suggested)
