Hello, I run a mail server and have recently switched from a paid certificate to a Letsencrypt certificate. Unfortunately, when I connect Outlook, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird to the server it responds with the now out-of-date paid certificate. I’ve pointed Dovecot at the new certificate, but am I missing something else? Thank you very much for the service, and the support! ---

Solved my own problem, I changed all the paths for the certificate…other than the 10-ssl file in the /etc/dovecot/conf.d folder! ---
