Dovecot as an IMAP serverΒΆ
Dovecot was optimized since the beginning to work as an efficient IMAP server. Dovecot supports a lot of IMAP extensions.
Some extensions are automatically enabled:
COMPRESS
Some of the extensions need to be explicitly enabled:
METADATA
SEARCH=FUZZY
SPECIAL-USE
NOTIFY: Set
mailbox_list_index
toyes
URLAUTH: Set
imap_urlauth_host
andmail_attribute_dict
Changed in version 2.4.0 (CE): Before, the COMPRESS
extension was available as the
imap-zlib plugin plugin, which needed to be explicitly enabled.
Changed in version 3.0.0 (Pro): Before, the COMPRESS
extension was available as the
imap-zlib plugin plugin, which needed to be explicitly enabled.
