I have setup a POP server for the mail handler to access but I keep getting the following error message indicating that mail handler is using IMAP. I am using JIRA 4.0.

Hi Ali,
You can change the connection type via Administrations > Mail Server > edit the Pop Server > make sure to specify pop instead of imap in the Host Name.
In general, the error that JIRA throws here indicate that it has problem connecting to mail server (mail.foobar.com). Thus, you can check if:
Good luck.
