I eliminated the IPv6 lines for brevity.

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.

That's right. IN fact, the only v6 used at all is for our audio
streaming services.
