Hi,
the
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/imap_metadata/
sample uses
mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes
which stores all keys=value pairs in the file.
http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Dovecot-v2-3-9-3-HTTP-API-Endpoint-for-...
uses a SQL dict, however very specific ones. How can I use a SQL dict to store _all_ keys, as with a file based storage?
I cannot find a documentation for "pattern" specification, that works as "catch all", in order to store anything not catched by patterns into the database.
https://wiki.dovecot.org/Dictionary does not give any hint (in my eyes).

for one, you need to use proxy::metadata
then define
dict { metadata = mysql:/path/to/config }
then you need the mapping file, which you could use something like:
connect = host=localhost dbname=dovecot user=dovecot password=dovecot map { pattern = priv/$key fields { meta_key = $key } table = meta username_field = username value_field = value }
with
CREATE TABLE meta ( username VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, meta_key VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, value VARCHAR(255), PRIMARY KEY(username,
key) );Hope this helps.

Hi!
There is now better documentation on how to achieve this: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/dict/#sql-dict-with-mail-attrib...
