+For SSL add or amend the following to the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file.
+<code>
+disable_plaintext_auth = no
+ssl = yes
+ssl_cert_file = </etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
+ssl_key_file = </etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
+</code>
+Uncomment following line in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:
+<code>
+listen = *

+However, this method may cause conflicts with other servers already listening on other ports. The alternative (and probably more desirable) method, then, is to enable the specific listening ports for the protocols that are intended to be used. For example, for IMAP/IMAPS and POP3/POP3S, add to the correct protocol imap and protocol pop3 sections:
+<code>
+protocol imap {
+     listen = *:143
+     ssl_listen = *:993
+     ...
+     }
+protocol pop3 {
+     listen = *:110
+     ssl_listen = *:995
+     ...
+     }
 </code>
