Features
Flexible authentication
Dovecot’s user authentication is extremely flexible and feature-rich, supporting many differentauthentication databases andmechanisms.
Standards compliant
Dovecot isstandards compliant. Dovecot passes allIMAP server standard compliancy tests while most other servers fail many of them.
Self-optimizing
Dovecot’s indexes areself-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 isself-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 supportsworkarounds 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 beadmin-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’sdesign andimplementation is highly focused on security. You can report any security vulnerabilities via ourYesWeHack program or via email tosecurity@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 Dovecotworks well with clustered filesystems.NFS has caching problems, but you can work around them with Dovecot cluster.
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 examplequota andACL support are completely implemented as plugins.
