IMAP METADATA
=============

Dovecot supports the IMAP METADATA extension (RFC 5464)
[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5464], which allows per-mailbox, per-user data
to be stored and accessed via IMAP commands.

To activate metadata storage, a <dictionary> [Dictionary.txt] needs to be
configured in the Dovecot configuration using the 'mail_attribute_dict' option.

To activate the IMAP METADATA commands, the 'imap_metadata' option needs to be
activated.

Example:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Store METADATA information within user's Maildir directory
mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes

protocol imap {
  imap_metadata = yes
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
