Corey,

Might need to double check the config file.  Last I glanced at it, it is
set up to support only IMAP to begin with until I make one slight change
to the config file, /etc/dovecot.conf.  I believe the default line reads
"protocols = imap imaps" and you need to make sure that the "protocols"
line reads something like "protocols = pop3 imap" if you want it to
support both of those.  I think the complete line could read "protocols
= pop3 pop3s imap imaps" but of course you need to play with
certificates to set up either of the imaps or pop3s.  Of course, after
the change to the config file, you would need to restart the service.

HTH,
