Dovecot as an IMAP serverΒΆ

Dovecot was optimized since the beginning to work as an efficient IMAP server. Dovecot supports a lot of IMAP extensions.

Some extensions are automatically enabled:

  • COMPRESS

Some of the extensions need to be explicitly enabled:

Changed in version 2.4.0 (CE): Before, the COMPRESS extension was available as the imap-zlib plugin plugin, which needed to be explicitly enabled.

Changed in version 3.0.0 (Pro): Before, the COMPRESS extension was available as the imap-zlib plugin plugin, which needed to be explicitly enabled.
