I know this question has already been asked, but I would really like a solution here as I tried all I could find on the wiki or mail archives I am now running dovecot 2.2.12 Compression works fine for new mails, so zlib works Mails are currently stored using dbox
So I tried for testing dsync -D -v mirror -u user -m Archives dbox:~/temp dsync -o "plugin/zlib_save=xz" -D -v mirror -u user -m Archives dbox:~/temp dsync -o "plugin/zlib_save=" -D -v mirror -u user -m Archives dbox:~/temp dsync -o "plugin/zlib_save=" -D -v mirror -u user -m Archives maildir:~/temp dsync -o "plugin/zlib_save=xz" -D -v mirror -u user -m Archives maildir:~/temp
And also converting again those maildir messages to dbox (just in case it wouldn't work from dbox format) And also with backup instead of mirror
None of this actually works, mails are indeed copied, but not compressed
So I am wondering if there is a way to compress those mails?
I'm now facing the same issue with 2.2.13. zlib is working for new mails but as opposed to some information I found dsync (backup) does not convert old mails to compressed. For example this post suggests that it should happen: http://thr3ads.net/dovecot/2013/07/2663810-dsync-backup-mails-compressed and also some Dovecot book also states to convert the mailbox just use dsync backup after zlib is enabled. Still I'm not able to make it work.
Any hints?
Thanks, Wolfgang
