<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>Our archive namespace is kept in MBOX format with Maildir++
layout due to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Need to have the email from all users/folders self contained
(our base namespace uses MDBOX with single instance storage of
attachments)</li>
<li>MBOX/FS layout isn't supported because some folders have
messages and subfolders.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm trying to compress that namespace using zstd/gzip following
the informations from Dovecot documentation about the zlib plugin
but when the (MBOX/Maildir++) compress and become with
.zst/.zstd/.gz suffix (both tested) the system can't read the
mailboxes and incorrectly reports the suffix (.zstd/.gz) as a
subfolder name (following the Maildir++ file structure).</p>
<p>Is there any way to make the MBOX/Maildir++ compatible with the
zlib compression?</p>
<p>Using Dovecot 2.3.14 on Debian10<br>
</p>
<p>Regards.<br>
