Man ipopd says:

"DESCRIPTION
       ipop2d  and  ipop3d  are servers which support the POP2 and POP3 remote
       mail access protocols respectively.  ipop2d and ipop3d can also be used
       by  POP2  and  POP3  clients  respecitively to access mailboxes on IMAP
       servers by specifying a login user name in the form <host>:<user> e.g.,
       SERVER.WASHINGTON.EDU:SMITH.
