Cannot receive emails

Hi, i need some guidance to solve this problem
I have three email accounts, which do not receive incoming emails, though outgoing emails can be sent fine
i have setup in thunderbird, but entering through webmail i don't see any emails either
yesterday i was experimenting a bit - tried to disable antispam/antivirus/fail2ban but it didn't help, and at some point even outgoing emails stopped working
i have ports 143/993 enabled in firewall (tried both)
what logs should i check first?

debian 10/myVesta 0.9.8-26-47

Check if MX record of domain is pointing to your server - https://mxtoolbox.com/

Also check if you can connect to 25, 468 and 587 ports from outside.

really, ports 25, 468 were disabled in firewall, now mails received normally
now i remember how disabled those ports shortly after installation, because read somewhere they should not be used.. feel stupid :D

thank you for quick help, much appreciate it!
btw, your cp was the only one i could easily install, setup and run without any problems, given i don't have much knowledge in web, really great work!

Why port 468?

On vesta I see the following ports are needed for smtp 25,465,587,2525

My emails were working and suddenly email are not coming in.

I think it's because port 468: It’s uncommon to see port 468 used for SMTP services.

The standard ports for SMTP are:

25: Used for plain text communication.
465: Used for SMTPS (SMTP Secure), which is SMTP over SSL.
587: Used for SMTP with STARTTLS, a method to take an existing insecure connection and upgrade it to a secure connection using SSL/TLS.
2525: Often used as an alternative to port 25, especially for outbound mail when ISPs block port 25.
