Hey all,
I've just installed Postfix + Dovecot on Xubunto 14.04 LTS.
Following this page :
Setup a mail server with Postfix and Dovecot on Ubuntu / Debian
<http://www.binarytides.com/install-postfix-dovecot-debian/>
although I'm able to send emails to GMail and other kind of domain, nothing
appears on Thunderbird INBOX, nor using openssl :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Yvon, perhaps you can take a look into your logs at /var/log/mail.log (and dovecot.log as you configured). There Postfix should pickup the incoming email and deliver it to Dovecot. From this communication the problem should be pretty obvious.
