The Ubuntu installation has this line in the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file;

That directory contains one file;

dovecot-imapd.protocol

and it contains one line;

protocols = $protocols imap

So I am assuming that it is adding imap to the protocols in the environment variable $protocols somehow?

Not environment variable $protocols, but the previous "protocols" setting's value in dovecot.conf.

I did get TBird to retrieve mail from port 993 using SSL however. Will it work without a protocols = imaps?

Yeah, there's no such thing as "imaps protocol". I should never have included it as a protocol in previous Dovecot versions either..
