[Dovecot] mdbox and altmove support in Plesk

[burnley]

Hi guys,

We're wondering if, using the Dovecot packages shipped by Plesk, we can use the nifty features offered by the mdbox format and especially "doveadm altmove" to manipulate users' mailboxes by, say, archiving mail older than n weeks on alternate storage media. Would definitely help us to optimize the mail storage usage by offloading old emails to slower media.
Has this feature been tested with Plesk?

As far as I know - no. We use maildir++

Thanks Igor. Any plans to support mdbox and alternate storage? Worth raising it on Plesk uservoice?
