FEATURES



BEST PERFORMING



Dovecot is among the best performing IMAP servers while still supporting the
standard mbox and Maildir formats. The mailboxes are transparently indexed,
which gives Dovecot its good performance while still providing full
compatibility with existing mailbox handling tools.



FLEXIBLE AUTHENTICATION



Dovecot’s user authentication is extremely flexible and feature-rich, supporting
many different authentication databases and mechanisms.



STANDARDS COMPLIANT



Dovecot is standards compliant. Dovecot passes all IMAP server standard
compliancy tests while most other servers fail many of them.



POSTFIX AND EXIM



Postfix 2.3+ and Exim 4.64+ users can do SMTP authentication directly against
Dovecot’s authentication backend without having to configure it separately. You
can also use our submission service to perform authentication before relaying
mail to your MTA.



SELF-OPTIMIZING



Dovecot’s indexes are self-optimizing. They contain exactly what the user’s
client commonly needs, no more and no less.



EASY MIGRATION



Dovecot supports easy migration from many existing IMAP and POP3 servers,
allowing the change to be transparent to existing users.



SELF-HEALING



Dovecot is self-healing. It tries to fix most of the problems it notices by
itself, such as broken index files. The problems are however logged so the
administrator can later try to figure out what caused them.



WORKAROUNDS SUPPORT



Dovecot supports workarounds for several bugs in IMAP and POP3 clients. Since
the workarounds may cause the protocol exchange to be sub-optimal, you can
enable only the workarounds you need.



ADMIN-FRIENDLY



Dovecot tries to be admin-friendly. Common error messages are made as easily
understandable as possible. Any crash, no matter how it happened, is considered
a bug that will be fixed.



SECURITY



Dovecot’s design and implementation is highly focused on security. You can
report any security vulnerabilities via our HackerOne program or via email to
security@dovecot.org.



CLUSTERED FILESYSTEMS COMPATIBILITY



Dovecot allows mailboxes and their indexes to be modified by multiple computers
at the same time, while still performing well. This means that Dovecot works
well with clustered filesystems. NFS has caching problems, but you can work
around them with director proxies.



EASILY EXTENSIBLE



Dovecot is easily extensible. Plugins can add new commands, modify existing
behavior, add their own data into index files or even add support for new
mailbox formats. For example quota and ACL support are completely implemented as
plugins.
