I've been struggling trying to get Thunderbird to read e-mail off a CentOS 7 server.
Sendmail writes mail in /var/spool/mail
I've configured dovecot to try to read from there using Thunderbird (POP3/SMTP).
You didn't explicitly configure pop3 as a protocol.
ss -tanlpe | grep "110"
The firewall allows ports 25/110.
SMTP doesn't matter here.
I verified I have mail in /var/spool/mail
but Thunderbird is unable to retrieve that mail.
I've googled sendmail / dovecot config, I've looked a the wiki but I just can't figure this out.
Please don't suggest using postfix, I just want to get sendmail / dovecot working.
Look at the source of truth: the mail log

Why don't you keep your install updated?
