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. 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. Previously it did work. Thunderbird has been rewritten in a big part, and there are things that worked and now don't.
