To use dovecot-postfix stack with thunderbird, do I put the configuration into /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/impad.protocol? That would seem to be how the stack is configured.

"Thunderbird

To use with Thunderbird, edit the file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:

protocol imap { ... login_greeting_capability = yes imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep }"
