There's no reason for me to offer IMAPS or POP3S to localhost (because of the certificate issue) and there's also no reason for me to offer POP3 to localhost either.

I don't think you can do that.  However if you don't want to use tls/ssl 
just connect to port 143 plain.

I don't know about horde but Roundcube you use tls://localhost, 
ssl://locahost or just localhost.

i.e the choice is with the client not the server.
