You'd want to use "su -" so that you get root's path. Using "su" alone 
does not get you root's path. That isn't the problem here, however. imap 
does not need to be running for pop3 to work.

Did you configure a firewall when you did the install on this machine?
Try "su -" and then "lokkit" which will allow you to see and modify any 
firewall settings. If you set your secutiry setting to the default of 
"high" initially, then the firewall won't allow pop3 connections. You 
need to allow connections to port 110 for pop3.
