That is because ipop3d has not been included in Fedora since FC1, as
mentioned in the FC2 release notes. The simplest fix is to install and
use dovecot instead:

# yum install dovecot

Then edit /etc/dovecot.conf and enable the POP3 protocol in the
"protocols" line near the top.

Then turn off ipop3d and enable dovecot instead:

# chkconfig ipop3d off
# chkconfig dovecot on
# service dovecot start

P.S. Please don't top-post on this mailing list.
