I am familiar with using commands like:

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http

To enable firewalld services. I am also aware that this is through xml 'scripts' in:

/usr/lib/firewalld/services/

But what I find interesting is what services are there and which are not. I went a'lookin with:

grep "port=" /usr/lib/firewalld/services/*|more

firewall-cmd --get-services

Only the "most common" services, which will undoubtedly be up for interpretation and opinions will differ. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-firewall-us...

James has some good information here regarding precedence of service vs port-based firewalld rules and creating your own custom service definitions. https://www.hogarthuk.com/?q=node/9

And found some like:

http, https, imaps, smtp, and pop3s

What I do not find are others that I would think are 'standard' like:

pop3 (110) and imap (143)

(Given your findings which I've not confirmed...) With the inclusion of pop3s, I'd expect imap, pop3, and imaps too.

I can understand 587 not being included, but imap?

I can always just add them with:

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=587/tcp

I noticed the same for SNMP. No pre-configured "service profile" so I had to use 161/udp ... but it was a small thing. ;-)

But I want to use the standard files. Perhaps because they are there. Have I missed how some are handled?

I don't think you have. I was curious some weeks ago at the time, but had my solution with port-based and moved on to other tasks.
