Using 2.3.13 (89f716dc2) (debian package), with mdbox storage.
I considering adding the zlib plugin. I understand that reading mail
can cope with either compressed or uncompressed mailboxes.
I'm wondering if I can leave the main storage uncompressed, while having
the alternate storage compressed. There does not seem to be a way to
configure this, from
https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/zlib-plugin/ it seems
compression (on saving emails) is an all-or-nothing option?
Can I leave zlib_save unset in my main configuration, and have doveadm
use some alternate configuration with zlib_save set? It doesn't look
hopeful because I don't see the ability to use a different config at
https://wiki.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Altmove.
Perhaps I would need multiple copies of the daemon running?
Or is it better just to compress everything? I plan to store older
mails (perhaps 3months+) in the alternative storage, and was thinking it
would be nice to have those compressed, while I don't need to compress
the main store.
Any feedback welcome.
Thanks,
Alex
