Hi, I saw the zlib-plugin reference in the alpha4 ChangeLog notes are searched the list for info about it. The only reference I found was from Timo back in March 2005. Questions:
- Is this going to become a standard part of version 1.0?
It'll always stay as a plugin since it's kind of a kludge and not very useful for most people. I'm not sure if I'll start including plugins in the main Dovecot tarball and make it easy to compile them either statically to binaries or as modules. Maybe..
- Any plans or ability to make it read/write to a gzipped mailbox, or is this possible? Or will it always be read-only?
No plans for write-support. It's useful mostly for read-only archive mboxes.
- How does a mailbox get gzipped? From within dovecot somehow, or only by external action?
No plans for internal gzipping.
