cannot get TB to recognize either pop3/s or imap/s server
can connect just fine with:
openssl s_client -connect ms1.myserver.net:993 . login ...
but trying with TB /var/log/mail.log gets:
dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=223.205.150.234, lip=xxx.xx.xx.xx dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=223.205.150.234, lip=xxx.xx.xx.xx

Thunderbird is not the best of clients out there. It's ok but not the best.
I am using TB on my sites and found out that it has many issues. Can you be a bit more specific ? Are you trying to connect to Secure IMAP ? (993) on dovecot ?
In that case, as far as I remember you have to "fool" Thunderbird during the mail account set up process.
It's a bit crazy, I know but it's true. I have documented everything. Let me know where the hickup is and I'll try to get the docs and let you know how to work around this.
