Hello,
to save some precious space on my server, I wanted to enable zlib
compression in dovecot. I followed these instructions:
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib
The relevant parts of my dovecot.conf
protocol imap {
# Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space
separated
# list of plugins to load.
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_zlib
...
}
plugin {
# Used by both the Sieve plugin and the ManageSieve protocol
sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
sieve_dir = ~/sieve
zlib_save_level = 6 # 1...9
zlib_save = gz # gz or bz2
}
protocol lda {
# Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space
separated
# list of plugins to load.
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve zlib
mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules
...
}
doveconf -n showed no error, I restarted dovecot.
Now when I receive a new mail, it is compressed - but it stays
compressed :( Meaning: It arrives in Thunderbird, but it's not readable.
If I look at the mail sources in Thunderbird, it looks like zlib
compressed text...
What have I missed?
