[Dovecot] Length of attachment filenames
Hi there,
I have a beginners question to Dovecot: does it have a restriction on the supported length and character encodings of filenames of attachments?
Can filenames be arbitrary large?
Cheers,
Hauke

The filenames in IMAP's BODYSTRUCTURE reply probably get truncated somewhere around 8192 bytes (then again, maybe not, depends on the encoding I think). And in any case not all IMAP clients use BODYSTRUCTURE.

The maximum filename length depends largely on the file system:
