Hey all,
I've just installed Postfix + Dovecot on Xubunto 14.04 LTS. Following this page : Setup a mail server with Postfix and Dovecot on Ubuntu / Debian http://www.binarytides.com/install-postfix-dovecot-debian/
although I'm able to send emails to GMail and other kind of domain, nothing appears on Thunderbird INBOX, nor using openssl :
$ openssl s_client -connect imap.<DOMAIN>.<TLD>:993 CONNECTED(00000003)
