Not a developer, but I use the settings from https://cipherli.st, 
namely:

	ssl = yes
	ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot.cert
	ssl_key = </etc/dovecot.key
	ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3
	ssl_cipher_list = AES128+EECDH:AES128+EDH
	ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes # >Dovecot 2.2.6
	ssl_dh_parameters_length = 4096 # >Dovecot 2.2
