Edit /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3 and change this:

        disable = yes

to this:

        disable = no

Save the file and then reboot or restart xinetd as such:

[root@ohmster root]# service xinetd restart
Stopping xinetd: [ OK ]
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]
[root@ohmster root]#

Your pop3 server is now running, have fun.
