You might try lsof -i

Also from the outside a nessus scan can tell if a port is closed or  
blocked with iptables.

It might be that the latest version doesn't work with 110 even from  
localhost without a special config.

This will test an ssl connection:

openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:993 -showcerts
