Dear dovecot mailing list,
   Maybe you'll have an idea.
   I upgraded from Debian bookworm to trixie this morning.
   Along with this upgrade, dovecot went to 2.4.1 .
   I adapted the configuration files.
   The server starts but the clients cannot retrieve emails.
   The error message in the logs is:

   dovecot: pop3-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL connection: Couldn't
   initialize SSL server context: Can't load SSL certificate
   (ssl_server_cert_file setting): The certificate is empty

   In iostream-openssl-context.c:ssl_iostream_context_set(), I adapted this
   error message to see whether a path could be found for this server cert
   file:

   t_strdup_printf(

                           "Can't load SSL certificate (%s setting with path
   '%s'): %s",

                           ctx->client_ctx ? "ssl_client_cert_file" :

                           "ssl_server_cert_file",

                           set->cert.cert.path,


   openssl_iostream_use_certificate_error(set->cert.cert.content)
   The outcome was that the path is empty as well:
   dovecot: pop3-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL connection: Couldn't
   initialize SSL server context: Can't load SSL certificate
   (ssl_server_cert_file setting with path ''): The certificate is empty
   Then, I adapted ssl-settings.c:ssl_server_settings_check() to show the
   content of the server certificate file at that stage (with stdio):
   FILE
   
*file_ptr;file_ptr=fopen("/tmp/output.txt","a");if(file_ptr!=NULL){fprintf(file_ptr,"server
   check %s\n",set->ssl_server_cert_file);fclose(file_ptr);}
   The outcome was that the file is not empty at this stage:

   server check /etc/letsencrypt/live/<MY_SERVER>/fullchain.pem

   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

   <MY_CERT>

   -----END CERTIFICATE-----

   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

   <MY_CERT>

   -----END CERTIFICATE-----
   Is there any potential reason for this disappearance between the calls?
   Thanks!
   Louis.
