Hi,

...

I tested teh git version of dovecot. It seems the IMAP Compress plugin (imap_zlib) has disappeared.

https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/5f27e25c64555dcaae6cb00c479cd05bc2638...

so the zlib plugin is also deprecated and clients should run compress themselves?

IMAP compress plugin has been integrated to code so that you do not need separate plugin. zlib has been renamed as mail_compress as pointed out by Michael. Please review https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html Aki On 10/07/2024 08:52 EEST Selena Thomas via dovecot dovecot@dovecot.org wrote: Hi, I think you should the IMAP Compress plugin (imap zlib) isn't in the latest git version of Dovecot. You might want to try using an older version of Dovecot from git where the plugin is still included or search for other plugins that offer similar compression features.

Hi,

I think you should following these steps I am sure they will worked properly and also important to access:

1. Check Documentation and Changelog: Look at the latest Dovecot documentation and changelogs to see if there are any notes about the imap_zlib plugin being moved renamed or deprecated.

2. Rebuild with Plugin: Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed for zlib and then rebuild Dovecot with plugin support by configuring it explicitly. You can use the configure with zlib option before compiling.

3. Check for Alternative Repositories: Sometimes plugins may be maintained separately. Check if there is an independent repository or branch that includes the imap zlib plugin.

4. Contact Dovecot Community: If the plugin has been removed, consider reaching out to the Dovecot community or mailing list for alternative solutions or to understand the reason for its removal.

this sounds like a ChatGPT answer. What's the purpose of it?
