Hello!
First of all really thanks for such a project!
I have a question - I would like to disable NON imap-ssl and smtp-ssl protocols.
I know, that usually I will have to set port = 0 in dovecot.conf, but I can't find where imap and smtp (or even pop port, but I don't need since I can remove it from protocols in dovecot.conf) are located, I've grepped all my systems to find port = 143 line, and couldn't find anything related.

I am sure it is enabled, since roundecube sends via 25 smtp port, and uses imap on 143 port.....

Thanks a lot!

Re: Disable non-ssl IMAP and SMTP

*) With default iRedMail settings, IMAP without TLS is enabled, but clients cannot access mailbox with it at all, because it requires TLS ("ssl = required" in dovecot.conf).

*) Connecting to port 143 (IMAP without TLS) on LOCALHOST (127.0.0.1) is accepted by Dovecot, because it considers connection from localhost as secured.

So, in your case, there's nothing to do.
