You are missing the forest and just concentrated on a tree. Just follow the code and you will get all the things you need.
You are the issuer, so do you need to send it to someone or to yourself No. just keep the CA file in handy place, you may need it again.
But the main question is if it is your internal lan why do you even need ssl certificate at all. just set dovecot not to listen ssl ports and don't ask for tls settings.
Because from laptop to main computer, in the LAN, it doesn't work without SSL.
That's becoming ridiculous. You need SSL because you configured your systems to use SSL. Configure your systems to not use SSL.
The problem is Thunderbird actually, not dovecot. Thunderbird, in the current profile, in two computers, does not ask about the certificate, does not prompt to make an exception. A new profile does work, but creating a new profile with all the accounts is a quite large undertaking.
You have been told multiple times to use the real trusted CA to obtain your certificates. You refuse to do it. Now you pay the price of refusing to do it.
Previously it did work.
Without knowing what "previously" means exactly it does not offer any starting point. "Previously" Internet worked without SSL at all.
