Maybe /kolab/etc/rc.d/rc.imapd

I thnk that for cyrus the user is kolab-r. Anyway, you
shoulddo "help
ulimit" to see all the options. ulimit -a shows all
your limits. 1024
suggests that it's "nofiles".

If you have /etc/security/limits.conf try adding:
kolab-r            hard    nofile          8192
kolab-r            soft    nofile          8192

...And restarting kolab.

All the logs. tail -F is your friend here.

ps auwx doesn't show the cyrus processes?
