That is usually the port for POP with SSL or TLS. Mozilla is probably attempting to initiate a secure transaction with TLS and your popper is not currently configured to support it. Check that your popper is compiled with OpenSSL, check that you have used the correct value of the -l flag and/or set the appropriate options in the config file to enable TLS.
Clifton,
Thanks for the reply. I was missing the -l flag, but after I added it, nothing changed.
This is the line from inetd.conf:
spop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/popper popper -d -t /tmp/pop.log -f /usr/local/etc/mail/qpopper.config -l 1
These are the relevant lines from the config file:
set tls-support = stls set tls-private-key-file = /home/ilyush/certs/private.key set tls-server-cert-file = /home/ilyush/certs/server.crt
This is the contents of the log file:

Am I missing something obvious?
