[Dovecot] disable zlib via config to allow per mailbox compression level

[Kui Zhang]

Thank you for the reply.

Sorry, my post should have been more clear... I got the dynamic
compression part. I dont know how to turn it off, for accounts that
does not need/want it.

I tried setting the compression level to 0, dovecot does not appear to like it.

Error: zlib_save_level: Level must be between 1..9
