ZLIB/ZSTD Compressed MBOX in Maildir++ layout

[Pedro Ribeiro]

Hello!

Thank you for the suggestion.

That solved the problem of using layout FS with MBOX storage format.

After copying all the mail of the test user to the namespace in this 
format I've compressed all the storage files with ZSTD and that changed 
the name with the additional suffix .zst

Dovecot seems to need this to be .zstd so I've fixed the names.

But ... it doesn't work.

In that directory the filename is:

> -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 853M Jun 25 17:25 mBoX-MeSsAgEs.zstd
What am I doing wrong?

regards!
