Hello everyone!
Our archive namespace is kept in MBOX format with Maildir++ layout due to:
* Need to have the email from all users/folders self contained (our
base namespace uses MDBOX with single instance storage of attachments)
* MBOX/FS layout isn't supported because some folders have messages
and subfolders.
I'm trying to compress that namespace using zstd/gzip following the
informations from Dovecot documentation about the zlib plugin but when
the (MBOX/Maildir++) compress and become with .zst/.zstd/.gz suffix
(both tested) the system can't read the mailboxes and incorrectly
reports the suffix (.zstd/.gz) as a subfolder name (following the
Maildir++ file structure).
Is there any way to make the MBOX/Maildir++ compatible with the zlib
compression?
Using Dovecot 2.3.14 on Debian10
Regards.
