Just wanted to follow up on this in case someone else stumbles across this thread in the future. I've found a fuse module called fusecompress. Initial tests are showing it is working very well and doing exactly what I needed to do without having to change any of my mail setup.

Thanks!

I am indeed trying to compress an uncompressed maildir. I am currently using a standard Virtualmin setup (Postfix, Procmail, Dovecot). Enabling compression as explained below works great for sent mail, but I really need to also automatically compress incoming mail.

Unfortunately digging into this further, it looks like the only way to do this is to ditch Procmail, and thus lose Virtualmin "control".

Oh well :-(

(http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib), and apparently I need
to configure the filenames to end with ,S=$size on them.
You misunderstood that page. Enable compression by following the
"configuration" part. The part in the Maildir section about the
filenames ending with ,S=$size might apply if you were trying to
compress an uncompressed maildir.
