Reindl, you really need to learn how not to be such a total ass.
How precisely do you equate 'not *exactly* the same', and there is a 'big difference'.
Again, there *is* a technical difference, albeit minor:

Anyway, as usual, Timo is spot on... Thunderbird has the choice of 'SSL/TLS', and I imagine it is because TLS uses stronger encryption algorithms (which I just learned) that Dovecot uses it when given the choice.
Now the only other question is, again already being contemplated by Timo apparently, why the config file uses SSL...
Timo, what I would suggest is allow the use of ssl in the config file for backwards compat, but change future versions to use TLS...
I'm curious though... I'm fairly certain that my Android phone differentiates between SSL and TLS, with choices something like:
NONE SSL if available SSL Always TLS if available TLS Always
And I always choose (chose - from now on I'll choose TLS) 'SSL Always', so shouldn't these connections show 'SSL' instead of TLS, since I'm basically forcing my phone to SSL?
