Michael,
Thanks for the heads up. For the past few days (mostly in the background) I've been looking to see if this incident already exists. Personally, I don't like duplicate issues so I'm trying to avoid reporting a duplicate to the Cyrus IMAP team.
I also found this, https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/1614, which kind of looks like what I was experiencing. Looking at the labels for this it's a P3. I don't know about the Cyrus IMAP team but I know on my team a severity 3 or higher classification is basically purgatory unless someone really gets the hankering for some bug fixin' in their free time.
Thanks,
Chris
