dovecot - Oct 2020 - How to Modify Message and add more Attachments

Hello Everyone,

I am working on a product in which we are planning to store voice messages in
Dovecot sent by a user to another user. The message would be stored as an email
with .wav attachment. Once the Voice message is received, it may get
Transcribed. The message can be further be processed and more information can be
added to the message later. The original plan was to Modify the email and add
New information as attachments to same message.

As I understood, messages stored in Dovecot are immutable. What is the best
option to achieve this functionality?

Thanks,
Mrinal

Hmmm, that does not sound nice storing files as email. Maybe use 
document database? Look at this[1], see if it is possible to use the 
rados plugin to store files directly as objects? 

What are you using for speech to text?

CAUTION - EXTERNAL EMAIL This email originated from outside of Smith Micro
Software. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender
and know the content is safe.
