All of the above specified settings are correct. Yet, when I telnet localhost 143, I get:
Trying ::1... # this is certainly suspect Escape character is '^['. Connection closed by foreign host.
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

dovecot process should appear with :143
Did you specify the p option? Then dovecot process name should appear.

I eliminated the IPv6 lines for brevity.
Try telnet 127.0.0.1 143 instead of localhost
When I telnet 127.0.0.1 143 from a non-root account, I get "Connection closed by foreign host." When I do it from root, it connects but I get no other response and have to ^] to disconnect.
telnet localhost seems to use the IPv6 localhost adress which isn't used on dovecot side. I assume you don't use much IPv6 on this system, so this is no problem at all.
That's right. IN fact, the only v6 used at all is for our audio streaming services.
