Hi,
I activate ssl in dovecot.conf and i open 995 in my firewall.
But when i launch Eudora, i have an error : Server does not support SSL
In Eudora, i choose "Required STARTTLS".
Where do I have to declare my ssl certificate ? If you don't like Eudora, you
can explain me with evolution.

# Disable SSL/TLS support.
ssl_disable = no

# PEM encoded X.509 SSL/TLS certificate and private key. They're opened before
# dropping root privileges, so keep the key file unreadable by anyone but
# root. Included doc/mkcert.sh can be used to easily generate self-signed
# certificate, just make sure to update the domains in dovecot-openssl.cnf
ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem

# SSL parameter file. Master process generates this file for login processes.
# It contains Diffie Hellman and RSA parameters.
ssl_parameters_file = /var/run/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat

# How often to regenerate the SSL parameters file. Generation is quite CPU
# intensive operation. The value is in hours, 0 disables regeneration
# entirely.
ssl_parameters_regenerate = 24

# Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless
# SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). Note that 127.*.*.* and
# IPv6 ::1 addresses are considered secure, this setting has no effect if
# you connect from those addresses.
disable_plaintext_auth = yes
