Hello all,

I had gone through the wiki, but could not find any page about writing new plugins. Any pointers towards plugin api/docs will be very helpful.

Unfortunately there isn't any plugin documentation currently. What kind of a plugin do you want to write? Looking at the existing plugins is probably the easiest way to get started. Also src/lib-storage/mail-storage.h is the most important API if you're going to access mailboxes.

The only plugin specific API is that Dovecot calls _init() at startup and _deinit() when it unloads the plugin. Everything else can uses the same APIs as Dovecot internally.
