Sigh!   I wish people would use their heads once in a while.

Many servers listen on both the POP port of 110 AND the IMAP port of
143.  Depending upon which port the request comes in on will determine
the behaviour of the server.  In simple terms,  this means that when
you send a request to the server on port 110, it is answered as a POP
request on port 110.  If you send a request on port 143 it is answered
as an IMAP request on port 143.
