When I comment / remove the following parameters from dovecot.conf,
nothing breaks with my Thunderbird client still configured for "TLS":

> ssl_listen: 993
> ssl_disable = no

Both above are now commented   out and I restarted Dovecot and was
wondering what does that mean? Nothing broke and I can still open a
secure connection between my client and the IMAP server. Did I change
any parameters with my TLS connection via Dovecot?
