All of the above specified settings are correct. Yet, when I telnet localhost 143, I get:

This is normal.
What does 'netstat -l46np' say?
It doesn't look good. Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

tcp6 0 0 :::143 :::* LISTEN

This is also normal.
If you want to do a complete check of a service on a dual-stack host you really do need to explicitly specify the host by every IP address you intend it to be listening on since the client's ultimate choice of which address to choose, if you simply leave it up to DNS and the client, is variable.
