protocol imap {
listen = *:143
ssl_listen = *:993
}
Change the * to a particular IP address if you only want it to listen on one
network.
ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
Put the x509 cert and key into those (must not be password protected). Can
be self-signed etc (but your client might complain).
