I'm glad you figured it out.

FWIW, tcpflow is a program that's very useful for debugging things like
this.  It is very similar to tcpdump except that it creates files for each
connection (e.g. one for the connection from the pop/imap client to the
server, and another for the return traffic).  The tcpflow command line
arguments are pretty much the same as for tcpdump enabling you to look at
specific hosts and ports.
