? Hopefully you don't have BOTH 1.0.7 and 1.1.1 installed? ;)
After the above software is installed, 'pop3' does not open.
Proof? Logs showing dovecot startup failure? Th logs you did show showed dovecot starting up successfully...
I research the internet and found discussion on this problem. It has something to do with IPV6 causing the problem. On the internet it is suggested to change [::] to '*'.
This is well documented in the example dovecot config file:
<see attached>
So, just change:
listen = [::]
to:
listen = *
or you can specify per protocol, again, as documented...

A space separated list of IP or host addresses where to listen in for
connections. "*" listens in all IPv4 interfaces. "[::]" listens in all
IPv6 interfaces, but may also listen in all IPv4 interfaces depending
on the operating system. Use "*, [::]" for listening both IPv4 and
IPv6.
If you want to specify ports for each service, you will need to
configure these settings inside the protocol imap/pop3/managesieve {
... } section,
so you can specify different ports for IMAP/POP3/MANAGESIEVE. For
example:
protocol imap {
listen = *:10143
ssl_listen = *:10943
..
}
protocol pop3 {
listen = *:10100
..
}
protocol managesieve {
listen = *:12000
..
}
listen = [::]
