Hi!

A look at /cyrus-imapd_source/doc/install-configure.html
shows:

SSL, TLS, and OpenSSL

[...]

Configuring Cyrus with OpenSSL

[...]

1. openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /var/imap/server.pem -keyout
/var/imap/server.pem -days 365
[...]

2. Make sure to make key file(s) readable by the Cyrus user. For
example: chown cyrus /var/imap/server.pem

3. Add the following to /etc/imapd.conf to tell the server where to find
the certificate and key file (used for ALL services):
tls_cert_file: /var/imap/server.pem
tls_key_file: /var/imap/server.pem
[...]

4. You can test STARTTLS by using imtest:
imtest -t "" foobar.andrew.cmu.edu

In your imapd.conf I think there must be a line like
imaps         cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=0


More details in your_source-tree/doc/

Ciao!

Carsten.
