Not being terribly familiar with php, I assume that "imap_open" really
has some facility for connecting to POP ports as well?

My guess is that whatever is in that imap_open routine is broken. 
Maybe it is looking for some specific string in the banner.

The "(null)" in place of the username means it never got a login, and 
"-ERR POP EOF or I/O Error" means the remote side disconnected without
sending a "quit" command.

Try configuring it and making it again without the "shy" option; maybe
that PHP routine is expecting to see the string "pop" in the banner,
though it shouldn't.
