I've made some more tests and I still can't receive mails; sending them still works. I don't receive any error message, just the mails that are supposed to be received won't come. In the mail logs, I find only this relevant line: dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts in 2 secs): user=<>

Did you post doveconf -n (I didn't catch the head of this thread)? That would be step 0.

A good first step is to test whether you have basic authentication working (to separate out if you have a server or client issue). I assume you allow plaintext communication, but if not, substitute telnet with "openssl sclient -connect your-server:993":

C: # telnet your-server 143
S: * OK [CAPABILITY ...
C: x1 login testuser theirpassword

If you get an OK response to this, it may be a client issue (check settings on client). If you get an error or failure, look inward: check logs and config.
