Dovecot as an IMAP server¶

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

Some of the extensions need to be explicitly enabled:

METADATA
COMPRESS
SEARCH=FUZZY
SPECIAL-USE
NOTIFY: Set mailbox_list_index=yes
URLAUTH: Set imap_urlauth_host and mail_attribute_dict
