ok, I did install zstd (zstd command line interface 64-bits v1.4.4, by 
Yann Collet)

reconfigured & compiled dovecot 2.3.10.1 again with option : with-zstd

changed the configuration file to :

zlib_save = zstd


and restarted dovecot -

now I have following log file errors :

Aug 28 16:17:39 lxc-imap dovecot: 
imap(rnowotny)<237930><H1kft/CtENRUclcc>: Error: zlib_save: Unknown 
handler: zstd
Aug 28 16:17:44 lxc-imap dovecot: 
imap(rprager)<237939><p5hst/Ct8evAqKhu>: Error: zlib_save: Unknown 
handler: zstd
Aug 28 16:17:44 lxc-imap dovecot: 
imap(rprager)<237940><Vp5st/Ct8uvAqKhu>: Error: zlib_save: Unknown 
handler: zstd
Aug 28 16:17:44 lxc-imap dovecot: 
imap(rprager)<237941><U31tt/Ct8+vAqKhu>: Error: zlib_save: Unknown 
handler: zstd
...


what I do wrong here ?
