I set it up using xinet.d and turns out you need to call the file pop3 not just pop in the /etc/xinetd.d directory. Thanks for jarring my memory....it's the small things you always forget to overlook.
The good news is now both IMAP and POP are working without error!!!
Thanks for all the help Timo, I'm rather impressed with Dovecot and you got yourself a loyal user from here out.

This is what I have:

Well, that should work.. Does ps show any pop3-login processes? Do you have pop3-login binary?
Now the only time I need to uncomment something in the conf file is if I change it from the default settings, correct?
Right.
Do I need to have anything setup in my xinetd.d directory?
Dovecot doesn't use inetd by default. Or did you setup imap via inetd?
