It's much easier to make lmtp not chrooted. Simply remove the chroot
option from lmtp service in master.cf. I don't think that's a big security
problem.

Do you only have problems with pop3s and imaps, or also with pop3 and
imap? If it's only SSL/TLS, there yould be a problem with /dev/random and
you should try using /dev/urandom instead. Otherwise it could be that one
or more of your cyrus databases are corrupt. Did you try a reconstruct on
all you mailboxes?
