Having just been through this last week. The answer is to disable the POP and IMAP entries (also the IMAPS entry). Set the Disable lines to yes and the default to off. Then make sure that xinetd is restarted. (with redahat 7.1 I rebooted the machine as a simple kill -1 did not seem to do the trick).
