The docs say:

> *protocol*s = imap *imaps*
>     *Protocol*s we want to be serving: imap *imaps* pop3 pop3s If you
>     only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to "none".

and.....

>
> #   *protocol* imap {
> #     listen = *:10143
> #     ssl_listen = *:10943
> #     ..
> #   }

So if I want to run both imap and imaps AND configure the port, do I do:

#   *protocol* imap {
#     listen = *:143
#     ssl_listen = *:10943
#   }

OR

#   *protocol* imap {
#     listen = *:143
#   }
#   *protocol* imaps {
#     listen = *:993
#   }
