You have virtdomains set to userid, which may or may not be an issue
depending on whether you're specifying a full qualified username in TB3. If
so, see:

That looks right. You're listening on 143 or all interfaces. Do you have a
public interface on that server, or are you port forwarding from a
firewall?

Try:

telnet solipym.net 143

(no colon)

What settings are you using on TB3? I assumed IMAP instead of POP, is that
right? What SSL/TLS settings do you have set? What username format are you
using (username, or full email address)?
