Yes, with all dovecot "Plugin" parameters, like zlib_save_level, they 
can be dynamically set by your user_query for instance, on mysql, 
"SELECT CONCAT('/home/mail', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username) 
AS home, mailboxes.compression AS zlib_save_level, ........ WHERE...."

Mailboxes.compression would be the table.field where the compression 
level for the user would be set. I know a value of "0" for 
zlib_save_level would be no compression.

Hope this helps! Remember, any setting that goes under "Plugin{}" can be 
dynamically set in your userdb_query for LDAP, Mysql, or w/e storage 
plugin you use. I have sieve_dir and quota_rule2 set by my userdb_query 
so that some people can have quotas and others don't have an limit.
