This has been a long thread. In summary, do this:
----
From 10-master.conf (when using split config files)
service pop3-login {
net_listener pop3 {
port = 0
}
inet_listener pop3s {
port = 0
ssl = yes
}
This disables pop3 listeners even when the pop3 protocol is enabled.
-----
Regarding protection from the local host, if they can get on your system then
they will just attack imap. But I suppose this port=0 thing is still a good
idea since it reduces the attack surface. I see no disadvantage.

Changing the ports to = 0 did the trick. Nothing is listening on or 995
now. Thanks for your help, all!
