If that’s the case, why does it listen on IMAPS/993 and 587?

because it's forwarding packets to/from the Helm server in the home

But that's IMAPS and SMTP submission. Is that for random hosts on the Internet (like my phone on LTE) to read/send e-mail?

Yes - these ports are forwarded so customers can reach the server in their home from anywhere in the world.
