Unfortunately I already tested this (and also once again after your answer). Changed the setting, stopped dovecot and restart it. After that doing doveadm qutoa get -A stalls.

What I do not understand is that I can not see any connection attempts to the LDAP servers. If it had problems with the certificates I would expect to see the connection and then a failure in the starttls process.

I alos did chmod o+rx to the folder /etc/ssl/private and also to the private key. So I think it has nothing to do with the privileges of the certificates, does it?
