Hi Sophie did you try the following steps?
1. rename /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf to /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf.bak 2. copy /usr/share/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf to /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ 3. restart dovecot what happens? start dovecot normally? if so make a new cert with /usr/share/dovecot/mkcert.sh and do changes in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf ssl = yes ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem then restart dovecot. What happens now?
