Configuration is not working with Thunderbird

Hi, I'm new to the list (and postfix / dovecot), so if I mistakenly omit 
something, then please forgive me.

I cannot log into Thunderbird via IMAP with my configuration. However, I 
can check the mail of each user by logging into their user account & 
then using the "mail" command.  Is there something that is wrong with
my
config to not allow me to log into Thunderbird (Version 52.1.1)?  I'm 
using Postfix 3.1.0 if that helps.  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.  Thanks!

Here is the output of "|dovecot -n"|:

Configuration is not working with Thunderbird

Also, I ran "strace dovecot" & got these lines at the end of the
output:

open("/etc/letsencrypt/live/REDACTED/fullchain.pem", O_RDONLY) = -1 
EACCES (Permission denied)
close(14)                               = 0
write(2, "doveconf: Fatal: Error in config"..., 184doveconf: Fatal: 
Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 7: 
ssl_cert: Can't open file /etc/letsencrypt/live/REDACTED/fullchain.pem: 
Permission denied
) = 184
exit_group(89)                          = ?
+++ exited with 89 +++

Could that be the problem?

However, I can telnet into port 993 using this command from within the 
server using this:

openssl s_client -connect mail.domain.ext:993


Then, I can do these commands:
A1 LOGIN username password
A2 LIST "" "*"
A3 EXAMINE INBOX

 From my research, this shows that everything is setup properly.  I 
thought maybe this would help you guys help me better.  Let me know what 
else you need to help me diagnose my problem.

Thanks,

Please turn on

auth_debug=yes

and inspect your logs, such as /var/log/syslog or similar, and see what
you can find or alternatively post them to list (not the whole log file,
mind).

Configuration is not working with Thunderbird

So, I have this error now:

May 22 08:54:30 ********** dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth 
attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=***********, lip=***********, 
session=<***********>

I found this:  https://wiki2.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork

I have this set in my dovecot.conf: disable_plaintext_auth=yes

Same error, even when I try to connect port 143 instead of ssl (993).  
Any suggestions on what I can do now?
