sounds like inetd may be getting confused.. I would kill both:

kill -TERM 188 13228

(check to make sure they are gone)

then start it

/etc/init.d/inetd start
(or just type inetd)

before doing anything, run tail -f /var/log/daemon.log

look for messages from inetd, it may have errors saying cannot bind.
if so, mail again and I can explain how to solve this(not hard). if
not, telnet to localhost port 143, if you get the Cyrus login banner
then cyradm should be working, if not, check inetd.conf again, and
mail the list again, saying whether or not you got another banner
(if so include the banner's text), or if you got 'connection refused'
or if you got something else like a connection then an immediate
connection closed message.

you can get out of tail -f by hitting CTRL-C
