It seems like your right, as this command does work when I use port 143, but 
the following is a direct copy and paste from
http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestPop3Installation

# telnet your.host.org 110
1 login username password

So, I guess the next question becomes how come I can use  

# telnet localhost 110
user username
pass password
 
properly from any host, but a real client reports connection refused.
(kmail is the main one I've been using)
