It's strongly recommended to use only POP3S/IMAPS for better security.
If you want to enable POP3/IMAP services without STARTTLS for some reason, update below two parameters in Dovecot config file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
and restart Dovecot service:
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
/usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
disable_plaintext_auth=no
ssl=yes
Again, it's strongly recommended to use only POP3S/IMAPS for better security.
Default and recommended:
disable_plaintext_auth=yes
ssl=required
Please comment out lines below in Postfix config file /etc/postfix/main.cf
and reload or restart Postfix service:
smtpd_tls_auth_only=yes
