I've generated ssl files using letsencrypt and everything is installed and configed but my IMAP and SMTP are not working. What I can find from the /var/log/mail.log file is this error:
dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 0 secs): user=<>,TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate: SSL alert number 42
There is no log for the SMTP failure.

# protocol imap { }, local 127.0.0.1 { }, remote 10.0.0.0/8 { }
# Default values are shown for each setting, it's not required to uncomment
# those. These are exceptions to this though: No sections (e.g. namespace {})
