OK... so one thing is that I see 4 dovecot.conf files:
/usr/share/dovecot/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf /etc/init/dovecot.conf /var/run/dovecot/dovecot.conf
It's not altogether clear which one is being used by the service... why would there be four of them?

Hi Paul -
Well, I want to use STARTTLS... my Thunderbird settings are:
In thunderbird, I have the following settings: Port 110 Username:<user> Connection security: STARTTLS Authentication: Normal password
Which should be correct, right?
John
What if you change STARTTTLS to SSL ?
Did you try setting disable_plaintext_auth = no ?

This looks like you are trying to connect to pop3 without SSL or TLS. If you really want to allow plaintext over a non-secure connection then you need to use the following.
disable_plaintext_auth = no
