Good. The options provided by Thunderbird are: None, STARTTLS and SSL/TLS. So I will select the last one.
Will I have to modify anything on the Dovecot side?
So far, my only modification to the file 10-mail.conf has been this:
mail_location = maildir:~/Mail

I am preparing a new server, with Dovecot 2.2.36 and would like to know the currently recommended protocols. Should I stick to what I have? I would prefer to start with the easiest configuration possible, which I will revise later.
This is the command that I have been using to verify the server's functionality: RFC 8314 suggest to prefer implicit TLS over STARTTLS https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8314#section-3
modern clients work mostly fine with that recommendation, too.
