Hi, faced with a current space problem on our dovecot 2.2.18 server, I thought about using the zlib plugin. My questions: - is it really as simple as adding the options to the conf files as described in the docs :) ? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib - As this just compresses new messages; dose anybody has a sort of simple cron or whatever script or best practice how to compress existing

...w to force dovecot to always add the size tag to the filename when using maildir format. We are using dovecot 2.2.9 (whatever comes from ubuntu 14.04 LTS). We are using dovecot in conjunction with exim with maidirsize file enabled and maildir quotas. For example exim has following configuration: maildir_tag = ,S=$message_size Which adds the size to the filename of the message. This has enormous (orders of magnitude) performance benefit as to calculate quota one does not need to stat every single file (only getents for each directory). I have wrote a script that adds the size tag retrospective...

...he ,W= Maildir tag for some type of size instead of ,S= but I haven't traced far enough to work out what exactly W/virtual_size means, am I right in guessing that it might be 'wire size' i.e. message-size-with-CRLF-line-endings? (If so, use_crlf in exim.conf can be augmented with "maildir_tag = ,W=$message_size" to help keep overheads to a minimum). And, one final question: for a dual-stack machine to listen on both IPv6 and IPv4 sockets, is the currently preferred option simply to start two instances of Dovecot with their own dovecot.conf containing different *_listen parameters?...

Odd situation started recently whereby emails that are delivered into a maildir folder are being truncated when read. The emails are delivered via Exim and I can see the emails are complete when I look inside them. However, when viewing the emails via Thunderbird or a webmail client, they are truncated. *** START 'dovecot -n' *** # 1.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf base_dir:
