    Normally one does not edit it manually, but uses the chkconfig
    tool to do that: chkconfig ipop3 on ; chkconfig ipop3 --list
    When doing that, it is not necessary to restart xinetd.

    Safety question here: Did you edit pop3s or ipop3?

    The "service" tool is not for xinetd controlled services.

    You misunderstood the purpose of the file.

    Based on your message, I assume you edited the wrong file.
    You didn't say whether you wanted to set up SSL-based POP3.
