Hello i cannot access roundcube and my system status checks says the following errors.
Dovecot LMTP LDA is not running (port 10026).
IMAPS (dovecot) is not running (port 993).
Mail Filters (Sieve/dovecot) is not running (port 4190).
The SSH server on this machine permits password-based login. A more secure way to log in is using a public key. Add your SSH public key to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys, check that you can log in without a password, set the option ‘PasswordAuthentication no’ in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and then restart the openssh via ‘sudo service ssh restart’.

Did you ever try to change something in the source files or configuration files? The reason this came up a few weeks ago could be because of a reboot of a machine. If you change config files, e.g. of dovecot, and don’t restart the service, then you would not notice any change. If you changed something which breaks dovecot and you did not reload the dovecot service, this would be unnoticed until the service gets restarted, e.g. after a reboot.
This is mine. Try it out (save it), run sudo service dovecot start and look if it fixes your problem. Then you can try to reanable your modification:

#
# The default 0666 mode allows anyone to connect to the socket, but the
# userdb lookups will succeed only if the userdb returns an "uid" field that
# matches the caller process's UID. Also if caller's uid or gid matches the
# socket's uid or gid the lookup succeeds. Anything else causes a failure.
#
# To give the caller full permissions to lookup all users, set the mode to
# something else than 0666 and Dovecot lets the kernel enforce the
