? Hopefully you don't have BOTH 1.0.7 and 1.1.1 installed? ;)
After the above software is installed, 'pop3' does not open.
Proof? Logs showing dovecot startup failure? Th logs you did show showed
dovecot starting up successfully...
I research the internet and found discussion on this problem. It has
something to do with IPV6 causing the problem. On the internet it is
suggested to change [::] to '*'.
This is well documented in the example dovecot config file:
<see attached>
So, just change:
listen = [::]
to:
listen = *
or you can specify per protocol, again, as documented...

# protocol imap {
# listen = *:10143
# ssl_listen = *:10943

# protocol pop3 {
# listen = *:10100

# protocol managesieve {
# listen = *:12000

listen = [::]
