Hello!
Thank you for the suggestion.
That solved the problem of using layout FS with MBOX storage format.
After copying all the mail of the test user to the namespace in this format I've compressed all the storage files with ZSTD and that changed the name with the additional suffix .zst
Dovecot seems to need this to be .zstd so I've fixed the names.
But ... it doesn't work.

Hm. It is possible that it just doesn't work. mbox doesn't get a lot of attention these days - its support is more of a migration tool.
Out of curiosity, why do you use mbox? In your earlier email you said that you want a self contained format. Why? What's the goal?
Jeff.

Hello everyone!
Our archive namespace is kept in MBOX format with Maildir++ layout due to:
- Need to have the email from all users/folders self contained (our base namespace uses MDBOX with single instance storage of attachments)
- MBOX/FS layout isn't supported because some folders have messages and subfolders. You should be able to use the fs layout if you specify a dirname: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/mbox/mboxchildfol...
Then, the compression suffix being added shouldn't matter.
Jeff.
