When you log on to the server with SSH and execute the following command, you should get a result like so:

netstat -tulpn | grep :143
 
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:143             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1201/dovecot
tcp6       0      0 :::143                  :::*                    LISTEN      1201/dovecot

If you get nothing, try service dovecot start. Does that work?
