Dovecot 2. I've been using 1.2 all along and there are a bunch more config
files in 2. In 1.2 I just edited the protocols statement but I can't find
one in version 2. Is there a way to disable pop3 or do I just firewall the
ports?
In the example dovecot.conf there's a protocols setting. If you don't
see any, you can just add your own wherever. "protocols=imap" should
work.

How do I disable imaps?
Well, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL explains this more. I don't think you
really need to disable imaps, but if you want to, you can do it with:
service imap-login {
inet_listener imaps {
port = 0
}
}
