You are apparently running RedHat 7.0 - the
ipop3d is a daemon that services port 110 and
is usually controlled by inetd or xinetd.

If you are running inetd, then check out the
/etc/inetd.conf file. If you are running
xinetd, then check the/etc/xinetd.d/pop3d
file. It should have been setup automatically
when you installed the system.

You can find out which server you are running
by typing the command ps -ax | grep inet

If the ipop3d did not get installed, you
should be able to locate the RPM by mounting
your CD with mount /mnt/cdrom, then you can
install it with rpm, gnorpm, or kpackage.

The source code for the ipop3d is included
with your distribution if you need to look at
it. It's probably on the second CD.
