Pop3 and sendmail (smtp) are two different protocols on two different ports.
Here are the basic steps to get a working pop3 server
1. install imap-*.rpm
2. Make sure that the file /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3 does not have "disable =
yes". If it does, either remove it or change it to "disable = no" and
restart xinetd by typing "/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart."
3. Make sure that hosts.allow / hosts.deny are setup to allow access to
port 110.
4. Check that your firewall (and / or your isp's firewall) are not set up
to block 110.
