Hi folks,
According to the wiki,¹ it's considered a feature of Dovecot and its

Hello,
we're using vmm¹ to manage our postfix+dovecot virtual mail setup,
which allows us to give every virtual user a separate EUID and every
domain a separate EGID for additional security (vs. handling all
virtual mail with a single "vmail" user).

Hi,
we are using dovecot's deliver to deliver mails to a virtual mailbox

Hi list,
I understand that dovecot's deliver does a little more than deliver:
it also updates the dovecot metadata stored with each Maildir. Thus,
if I use deliver as opposed to procmail's internal Maildir delivery,
it seems that the IMAP server later has less work to do since the
metadata is can

Hi there,
I found that with an IMAP command like

I can set arbitrary flags on mails through the dovecot IMAP daemon.
This rules.

properties of the folder, really. For instance, after the above,
