Apparently you have dovecot imap or pop3 server installed. To confirm 
this, execute the command

dpkg --list 'dovecot-*'

If you have lines starting with ii, like

ii  dovecot-imapd     1:1.2.15-7    secure IMAP server that supports 
mbox and maildir mailboxes

the corresponding package (in the case above, dovecot-imapd) is 
installed. If you don't need any of the dovecot services (if you don't 
know if you need, you don't need), then remove the packages listed above 
with commands like

apt-get --purge remove dovecot-imapd

etc.
