[mail-crypt-plugin] Private key location in Folder Key Mode

Hi,

So I am trying to locate the private key in dovecot-attributes but I can't
seem to find it. I have went thru the strings in the file with the lib-dcrypt
document as a guide but the private key doesn't seem to be in there.

I'm guessing the private key is an internal attribute located here
'/private/vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt' , but according to the
mail-attribute.h file that location is not accessible. Is this true? Or is there
a way to see the private key?

Thanks.

   Its in the dovecot-attributes file. lib-dcrypt documents the attribute
syntax.

   You can use doveadm mailbox cryptokey export to get the key.
