This still seems to be an issue.
If I set it according to the current documentation 1, I get the following error:
Error: Plugin 'imap_metadata' not found from directory /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules
There's indeed no such .so file. It seems it's not a packaging problem either, even during compilation (with all possible ./configure flags enabled) this file is not created.
Config used:
protocol imap { mail_plugins { imap_metadata = yes } } mail_attribute { dict file { path = %{home}/attributes } }
Not urgent; I thought it's necessary for imapsieve, so I enabled "imapsieve_url". But since they are orthogonal, I can live without IMAP METADATA. It's just it doesn't work when set up according to the docs.
Version: Dovecot 2.4.1
