According to my understanding of the documentation I changed the protocols line in dovecot.conf to:

#protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s

Did you really just change the commented out line?

If so then you didn't do anything :(

You will need to uncomment the line and restart it.

The "#" at the beginning of the line is a comment.
