Hi,
I experienced the same issue in the past.
For me it was a systemd issue. In systemd (</lib/systemd/system/dovecot.socket>) all ports were listed so that systemd listens on these.
I solved it by placing the following content in </etc/systemd/system/dovecot.socket>: --- snip --- [Unit] Description=Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server activation socket
[Socket] #dovecot expects separate IPv4 and IPv6 sockets BindIPv6Only=ipv6-only ListenStream=0.0.0.0:993 ListenStream=[::]:993 KeepAlive=true
[Install] WantedBy=sockets.target --- snip ---
best, Sven

For gentoo, there is only one package. And here's your output:

and yet if I do doveconf protocols: # doveconf protocols protocols = imap pop3 lmtp
In dovecot.conf i have a line that enables the protocols.
# Enable installed protocols !include_try /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/*.protocol
This is on debian where every protocol is a separate package to install. This could also just be: protocols = imap lmtp pop3
Remove pop3 from there and you should be good. You can even have the config in place.
The other option to disable the pop3 listeners is to set the port = 0
From 10-master.conf (when using split config files) service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 0 ssl = yes } }
This disables pop3 listeners even when the pop3 protocol is enabled.
I would have thought that commenting them out would do that too. But I can uncomment them and add a port = 0, see if that helps.

Hi!
To correctly enable/disable protocols, ensure they are (not) listed on protocols.
doveconf protocols
tells you this.
Usually on debian based systems the easiest way is to uninstall
dovecot-pop3dpackage.Aki
