when zlib compression is enabled in dovecot, old emails remain untouched
I’ve been considering doing this, or at least looking into how much space we’d save (answer so far, less than you might think), but I am hesitant to “alter” the user’s mail stores without a bit more guidance.
Has anyone found a good walkthrough/guide on setting this up and also on compressing the old mail?
Are there any common issues to watch out for? Is it entirely transparent to the user?
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib says it has moved to https://doc.dovecot.org/plugin-settings/zlib_plugin/ which does not exist.
"Not Found The requested URL /plugin-settings/zlib_plugin/ was not found on this server."
The ULR on that page has the _ character instead of a - in the URL.
<https://doc.dovecot.org/plugin-settings/zlib-plugin/> loads and leads to
<https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/zlib_plugin/#zlib-plugin>
Which, sadly, does not have example code on actually compressing the existing mail, but does say to use maildirlock.
