+@node Mail Services
+@subsubsection Mail Services
+
+The @code{(gnu services mail)} module provides Guix service definitions
+for mail services. Currently the only implemented service is Dovecot,
+an IMAP, POP3, and LMTP server.
+
+Guix does not yet have a mail transfer agent (MTA), although for some
+lightweight purposes the @code{esmtp} relay-only MTA may suffice. Help
+is needed to properly integrate a full MTA, such as Postfix. Patches
+welcome!
+
+To add an IMAP/POP3 server to a GuixSD system, add a
+@code{dovecot-service} to the operating system definition:
+
+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} dovecot-service [#:config (dovecot-configuration)]
+Return a service that runs the Dovecot IMAP/POP3/LMTP mail server.
+@end deffn
+
+By default, Dovecot doesn't need much configuration; the default
+configuration object created by @code{(dovecot-configuration)} will
+suffice if your mail is delivered to @code{~/Maildir}. A self-signed
+certificate will be generated for TLS-protected connections, though
+Dovecot will also listen on cleartext ports by default. There are a
+number of options though which mail administrators might need to change,
+and as is the case with other services, Guix allows the system
+administrator to specify these parameters via a uniform Scheme interface.
+
+For example, to specify that mail is located at @code{maildir~/.mail},
+one would instantiate the Dovecot service like this:
+
+@example
+(dovecot-service #:config
+ (dovecot-configuration
+ (mail-location "maildir:~/.mail")))
+@end example
+
+The available configuration parameters follow. Each parameter
+definition is preceded by its type; for example, @samp{string-list foo}
+indicates that the @code{foo} parameter should be specified as a list of
+strings. There is also a way to specify the configuration as a string,
+if you have an old @code{dovecot.conf} file that you want to port over
+from some other system; see the end for more details.
+
+@c The following documentation was initially generated by
+@c (generate-documentation) in (gnu services mail). Manually maintained
+@c documentation is better, so we shouldn't hesitate to edit below as
+@c needed. However if the change you want to make to this documentation
+@c can be done in an automated way, it's probably easier to change
+@c (generate-documentation) than to make it below and have to deal with
+@c the churn as dovecot updates.

+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean verbose-proctitle?
+Show more verbose process titles (in ps). Currently shows user name
+and IP address. Useful for seeing who are actually using the IMAP
+processes (e.g. shared mailboxes or if same uid is used for multiple
+accounts).
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean shutdown-clients?
+Should all processes be killed when Dovecot master process shuts down.
+Setting this to @code{#f} means that Dovecot can be upgraded without
+forcing existing client connections to close (although that could also
+be a problem if the upgrade is e.g. because of a security fix).
+Defaults to @samp{#t}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer doveadm-worker-count
+If non-zero, run mail commands via this many connections to doveadm

+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean disable-plaintext-auth?
+Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless
+SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). Note that if the remote IP
+matches the local IP (i.e. you're connecting from the same computer),

+allowed. See also ssl=required setting.
+Defaults to @samp{#t}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer auth-cache-size

+for caching to be used.
+Defaults to @samp{0}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-cache-ttl
+Time to live for cached data. After TTL expires the cached record
+is no longer used, *except* if the main database lookup returns internal
+failure. We also try to handle password changes automatically: If
+user's previous authentication was successful, but this one wasn't, the
+cache isn't used. For now this works only with plaintext
+authentication.
+Defaults to @samp{"1 hour"}.

+realm first.
+Defaults to @samp{()}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-default-realm
+Default realm/domain to use if none was specified. This is used for
+both SASL realms and appending @@domain to username in plaintext
+logins.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-username-chars
+List of allowed characters in username. If the user-given username
+contains a character not listed in here, the login automatically fails.
+This is just an extra check to make sure user can't exploit any
+potential quote escaping vulnerabilities with SQL/LDAP databases. If
+you want to allow all characters, set this value to empty.
+Defaults to @samp{"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@@"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-username-translation
+Username character translations before it's looked up from
+databases. The value contains series of from -> to characters. For
+example @samp{#@@/@@} means that @samp{#} and @samp{/} characters are
+translated to @samp{@@}.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-username-format
+Username formatting before it's looked up from databases. You can
+use the standard variables here, e.g. %Lu would lowercase the username,
+%n would drop away the domain if it was given, or @samp{%n-AT-%d} would
+change the @samp{@@} into @samp{-AT-}. This translation is done after
+@samp{auth-username-translation} changes.
+Defaults to @samp{"%Lu"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-master-user-separator
+If you want to allow master users to log in by specifying the master
+username within the normal username string (i.e. not using SASL
+mechanism's support for it), you can specify the separator character
+here. The format is then <username><separator><master username>.
+UW-IMAP uses @samp{*} as the separator, so that could be a good
+choice.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-anonymous-username
+Username to use for users logging in with ANONYMOUS SASL
+mechanism.
+Defaults to @samp{"anonymous"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer auth-worker-max-count
+Maximum number of dovecot-auth worker processes. They're used to
+execute blocking passdb and userdb queries (e.g. MySQL and PAM).
+They're automatically created and destroyed as needed.
+Defaults to @samp{30}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-gssapi-hostname
+Host name to use in GSSAPI principal names. The default is to use
+the name returned by gethostname(). Use @samp{$ALL} (with quotes) to
+allow all keytab entries.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-krb5-keytab
+Kerberos keytab to use for the GSSAPI mechanism. Will use the
+system default (usually /etc/krb5.keytab) if not specified. You may
+need to change the auth service to run as root to be able to read this
+file.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean auth-use-winbind?
+Do NTLM and GSS-SPNEGO authentication using Samba's winbind daemon
+and @samp{ntlm-auth} helper.

+Syslog facility to use if you're logging to syslog. Usually if you
+don't want to use @samp{mail}, you'll use local0..local7. Also other
+standard facilities are supported.
+Defaults to @samp{"mail"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean auth-verbose?
+Log unsuccessful authentication attempts and the reasons why they
+failed.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean auth-verbose-passwords?
+In case of password mismatches, log the attempted password. Valid
+values are no, plain and sha1. sha1 can be useful for detecting brute
+force password attempts vs. user simply trying the same password over
+and over again. You can also truncate the value to n chars by appending
+":n" (e.g. sha1:6).
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean auth-debug?
+Even more verbose logging for debugging purposes. Shows for example
+SQL queries.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean auth-debug-passwords?
+In case of password mismatches, log the passwords and used scheme so

+@samp{auth-debug}.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mail-debug?
+Enable mail process debugging. This can help you figure out why
+Dovecot isn't finding your mails.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean verbose-ssl?
+Show protocol level SSL errors.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string log-timestamp
+Prefix for each line written to log file. % codes are in

+Defaults to @samp{"\"%b %d %H:%M:%S \""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} space-separated-string-list login-log-format-elements
+List of elements we want to log. The elements which have a
+non-empty variable value are joined together to form a comma-separated
+string.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string login-log-format
+Login log format. %s contains @samp{login-log-format-elements}
+string, %$ contains the data we want to log.
+Defaults to @samp{"%$: %s"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-log-prefix
+Log prefix for mail processes. See doc/wiki/Variables.txt for list
+of possible variables you can use.
+Defaults to @samp{"\"%s(%u): \""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string deliver-log-format
+Format to use for logging mail deliveries. You can use variables:
+@table @code
+@item %$
+Delivery status message (e.g. @samp{saved to INBOX})
+@item %m
+Message-ID
+@item %s
+Subject
+@item %f
+From address
+@item %p
+Physical size
+@item %w
+Virtual size.
+@end table
+Defaults to @samp{"msgid=%m: %$"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-location
+Location for users' mailboxes. The default is empty, which means
+that Dovecot tries to find the mailboxes automatically. This won't work
+if the user doesn't yet have any mail, so you should explicitly tell
+Dovecot the full location.
+
+If you're using mbox, giving a path to the INBOX
+file (e.g. /var/mail/%u) isn't enough. You'll also need to tell Dovecot
+where the other mailboxes are kept. This is called the "root mail
+directory", and it must be the first path given in the
+@samp{mail-location} setting.
+
+There are a few special variables you can use, eg.:
+
+@table @samp
+@item %u
+username
+@item %n
+user part in user@@domain, same as %u if there's no domain
+@item %d
+domain part in user@@domain, empty if there's no domain
+@item %h
+home director
+@end table
+
+See doc/wiki/Variables.txt for full list. Some examples:

+@end table
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-uid
+System user and group used to access mails. If you use multiple,
+userdb can override these by returning uid or gid fields. You can use
+either numbers or names. <doc/wiki/UserIds.txt>.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr

+
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-privileged-group
+Group to enable temporarily for privileged operations. Currently
+this is used only with INBOX when either its initial creation or
+dotlocking fails. Typically this is set to "mail" to give access to
+/var/mail.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-access-groups
+Grant access to these supplementary groups for mail processes.
+Typically these are used to set up access to shared mailboxes. Note
+that it may be dangerous to set these if users can create
+symlinks (e.g. if "mail" group is set here, ln -s /var/mail ~/mail/var
+could allow a user to delete others' mailboxes, or ln -s
+/secret/shared/box ~/mail/mybox would allow reading it).
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mail-full-filesystem-access?
+Allow full filesystem access to clients. There's no access checks
+other than what the operating system does for the active UID/GID. It
+works with both maildir and mboxes, allowing you to prefix mailboxes
+names with e.g. /path/ or ~user/.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mmap-disable?
+Don't use mmap() at all. This is required if you store indexes to
+shared filesystems (NFS or clustered filesystem).
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean dotlock-use-excl?
+Rely on @samp{O_EXCL} to work when creating dotlock files. NFS
+supports @samp{O_EXCL} since version 3, so this should be safe to use
+nowadays by default.
+Defaults to @samp{#t}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-fsync
+When to use fsync() or fdatasync() calls:
+@table @code
+@item optimized
+Whenever necessary to avoid losing important data
+@item always
+Useful with e.g. NFS when write()s are delayed
+@item never
+Never use it (best performance, but crashes can lose data).
+@end table
+Defaults to @samp{"optimized"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mail-nfs-storage?
+Mail storage exists in NFS. Set this to yes to make Dovecot flush
+NFS caches whenever needed. If you're using only a single mail server
+this isn't needed.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mail-nfs-index?
+Mail index files also exist in NFS. Setting this to yes requires
+@samp{mmap-disable? #t} and @samp{fsync-disable? #f}.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string lock-method
+Locking method for index files. Alternatives are fcntl, flock and
+dotlock. Dotlocking uses some tricks which may create more disk I/O
+than other locking methods. NFS users: flock doesn't work, remember to
+change @samp{mmap-disable}.
+Defaults to @samp{"fcntl"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} file-name mail-temp-dir
+Directory in which LDA/LMTP temporarily stores incoming mails >128
+kB.
+Defaults to @samp{"/tmp"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer first-valid-uid
+Valid UID range for users. This is mostly to make sure that users can't
+log in as daemons or other system users. Note that denying root logins is
+hardcoded to dovecot binary and can't be done even if @samp{first-valid-uid}
+is set to 0.
+Defaults to @samp{500}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer last-valid-uid
+
+Defaults to @samp{0}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer first-valid-gid
+Valid GID range for users. Users having non-valid GID as primary group ID
+aren't allowed to log in. If user belongs to supplementary groups with
+non-valid GIDs, those groups are not set.
+Defaults to @samp{1}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer last-valid-gid
+
+Defaults to @samp{0}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer mail-max-keyword-length
+Maximum allowed length for mail keyword name. It's only forced when
+trying to create new keywords.
+Defaults to @samp{50}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} colon-separated-file-name-list valid-chroot-dirs
+List of directories under which chrooting is allowed for mail
+processes (i.e. /var/mail will allow chrooting to /var/mail/foo/bar
+too). This setting doesn't affect @samp{login-chroot}
+@samp{mail-chroot} or auth chroot settings. If this setting is empty,
+"/./" in home dirs are ignored. WARNING: Never add directories here
+which local users can modify, that may lead to root exploit. Usually
+this should be done only if you don't allow shell access for users.
+<doc/wiki/Chrooting.txt>.
+Defaults to @samp{()}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-chroot
+Default chroot directory for mail processes. This can be overridden
+for specific users in user database by giving /./ in user's home
+directory (e.g. /home/./user chroots into /home). Note that usually
+there is no real need to do chrooting, Dovecot doesn't allow users to
+access files outside their mail directory anyway. If your home
+directories are prefixed with the chroot directory, append "/." to
+@samp{mail-chroot}. <doc/wiki/Chrooting.txt>.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} file-name auth-socket-path
+UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users.
+This is used by imap (for shared users) and lda.
+Defaults to @samp{"/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} file-name mail-plugin-dir
+Directory where to look up mail plugins.
+Defaults to @samp{"/usr/lib/dovecot"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} space-separated-string-list mail-plugins
+List of plugins to load for all services. Plugins specific to IMAP,
+LDA, etc. are added to this list in their own .conf files.
+Defaults to @samp{()}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer mail-cache-min-mail-count
+The minimum number of mails in a mailbox before updates are done to
+cache file. This allows optimizing Dovecot's behavior to do less disk
+writes at the cost of more disk reads.
+Defaults to @samp{0}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mailbox-idle-check-interval
+When IDLE command is running, mailbox is checked once in a while to
+see if there are any new mails or other changes. This setting defines
+the minimum time to wait between those checks. Dovecot can also use
+dnotify, inotify and kqueue to find out immediately when changes
+occur.
+Defaults to @samp{"30 secs"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mail-save-crlf?
+Save mails with CR+LF instead of plain LF. This makes sending those
+mails take less CPU, especially with sendfile() syscall with Linux and
+FreeBSD. But it also creates a bit more disk I/O which may just make it
+slower. Also note that if other software reads the mboxes/maildirs,
+they may handle the extra CRs wrong and cause problems.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean maildir-stat-dirs?
+By default LIST command returns all entries in maildir beginning
+with a dot. Enabling this option makes Dovecot return only entries
+which are directories. This is done by stat()ing each entry, so it
+causes more disk I/O.
+ (For systems setting struct @samp{dirent->d_type} this check is free
+and it's done always regardless of this setting).
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean maildir-copy-with-hardlinks?
+When copying a message, do it with hard links whenever possible.
+This makes the performance much better, and it's unlikely to have any
+side effects.
+Defaults to @samp{#t}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean maildir-very-dirty-syncs?
+Assume Dovecot is the only MUA accessing Maildir: Scan cur/
+directory only when its mtime changes unexpectedly or when we can't find
+the mail otherwise.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} space-separated-string-list mbox-read-locks
+Which locking methods to use for locking mbox. There are four
+available:
+
+@table @code
+@item dotlock
+Create <mailbox>.lock file. This is the oldest and most NFS-safe
+solution. If you want to use /var/mail/ like directory, the users will
+need write access to that directory.
+@item dotlock-try
+Same as dotlock, but if it fails because of permissions or because there
+isn't enough disk space, just skip it.
+@item fcntl
+Use this if possible. Works with NFS too if lockd is used.
+@item flock
+May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
+@item lockf
+May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
+@end table
+
+You can use multiple locking methods; if you do the order they're declared
+in is important to avoid deadlocks if other MTAs/MUAs are using multiple
+locking methods as well. Some operating systems don't allow using some of
+them simultaneously.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} space-separated-string-list mbox-write-locks
+
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mbox-lock-timeout
+Maximum time to wait for lock (all of them) before aborting.
+Defaults to @samp{"5 mins"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mbox-dotlock-change-timeout
+If dotlock exists but the mailbox isn't modified in any way,
+override the lock file after this much time.
+Defaults to @samp{"2 mins"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mbox-dirty-syncs?
+When mbox changes unexpectedly we have to fully read it to find out
+what changed. If the mbox is large this can take a long time. Since
+the change is usually just a newly appended mail, it'd be faster to
+simply read the new mails. If this setting is enabled, Dovecot does
+this but still safely fallbacks to re-reading the whole mbox file
+whenever something in mbox isn't how it's expected to be. The only real
+downside to this setting is that if some other MUA changes message
+flags, Dovecot doesn't notice it immediately. Note that a full sync is
+done with SELECT, EXAMINE, EXPUNGE and CHECK commands.
+Defaults to @samp{#t}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mbox-very-dirty-syncs?
+Like @samp{mbox-dirty-syncs}, but don't do full syncs even with SELECT,
+EXAMINE, EXPUNGE or CHECK commands. If this is set,
+@samp{mbox-dirty-syncs} is ignored.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mbox-lazy-writes?
+Delay writing mbox headers until doing a full write sync (EXPUNGE
+and CHECK commands and when closing the mailbox). This is especially
+useful for POP3 where clients often delete all mails. The downside is
+that our changes aren't immediately visible to other MUAs.
+Defaults to @samp{#t}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer mbox-min-index-size
+If mbox size is smaller than this (e.g. 100k), don't write index
+files. If an index file already exists it's still read, just not
+updated.
+Defaults to @samp{0}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer mdbox-rotate-size
+Maximum dbox file size until it's rotated.
+Defaults to @samp{2000000}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mdbox-rotate-interval
+Maximum dbox file age until it's rotated. Typically in days. Day
+begins from midnight, so 1d = today, 2d = yesterday, etc. 0 = check
+disabled.
+Defaults to @samp{"1d"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mdbox-preallocate-space?
+When creating new mdbox files, immediately preallocate their size to
+@samp{mdbox-rotate-size}. This setting currently works only in Linux
+with some filesystems (ext4, xfs).
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-attachment-dir
+sdbox and mdbox support saving mail attachments to external files,
+which also allows single instance storage for them. Other backends

+Attachments smaller than this aren't saved externally. It's also

+externally.
+Defaults to @samp{128000}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-attachment-fs
+Filesystem backend to use for saving attachments:
+@table @code
+@item posix
+No SiS done by Dovecot (but this might help FS's own deduplication)
+@item sis posix
+SiS with immediate byte-by-byte comparison during saving

+Defaults to @samp{"dovenull"}.
+@end deftypevr
+

+parameter overrides this. A commonly used header for this is
+X-Original-To.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean lda-mailbox-autocreate?
+Should saving a mail to a nonexistent mailbox automatically create
+it?.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean lda-mailbox-autosubscribe?
+Should automatically created mailboxes be also automatically
+subscribed?.
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer imap-max-line-length
+Maximum IMAP command line length. Some clients generate very long
+command lines with huge mailboxes, so you may need to raise this if you
+get "Too long argument" or "IMAP command line too large" errors
+often.
+Defaults to @samp{64000}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string imap-logout-format
+IMAP logout format string:
+@table @code
+@item %i
+total number of bytes read from client
+@item %o
+total number of bytes sent to client.
+@end table
+Defaults to @samp{"in=%i out=%o"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string imap-capability
+Override the IMAP CAPABILITY response. If the value begins with '+',
+add the given capabilities on top of the defaults (e.g. +XFOO XBAR).
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string imap-idle-notify-interval
+How long to wait between "OK Still here" notifications when client
+is IDLEing.
+Defaults to @samp{"2 mins"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string imap-id-send
+ID field names and values to send to clients. Using * as the value
+makes Dovecot use the default value. The following fields have default
+values currently: name, version, os, os-version, support-url,
+support-email.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string imap-id-log
+ID fields sent by client to log. * means everything.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} space-separated-string-list imap-client-workarounds
+Workarounds for various client bugs:
+
+@table @code
+@item delay-newmail
+Send EXISTS/RECENT new mail notifications only when replying to NOOP and
+CHECK commands. Some clients ignore them otherwise, for example OSX
+Mail (<v2.1). Outlook Express breaks more badly though, without this it
+may show user "Message no longer in server" errors. Note that OE6
+still breaks even with this workaround if synchronization is set to
+"Headers Only".
+
+@item tb-extra-mailbox-sep
+Thunderbird gets somehow confused with LAYOUT=fs (mbox and dbox) and
+adds extra @samp{/} suffixes to mailbox names. This option causes Dovecot to
+ignore the extra @samp{/} instead of treating it as invalid mailbox name.
+
+@item tb-lsub-flags
+Show \Noselect flags for LSUB replies with LAYOUT=fs (e.g. mbox).
+This makes Thunderbird realize they aren't selectable and show them
+greyed out, instead of only later giving "not selectable" popup error.
+@end table
+Defaults to @samp{()}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string imap-urlauth-host
+Host allowed in URLAUTH URLs sent by client. "*" allows all.
+Defaults to @samp{""}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+
+Whew! Lots of configuration options. The nice thing about it though is
+that GuixSD has a complete interface to Dovecot's configuration
+language. This allows not only a nice way to declare configurations,
+but also offers reflective capabilities as well: users can write code to
+inspect and transform configurations from within Scheme.
+
+However, it could be that you just want to get a @code{dovecot.conf} up
+and running. In that case, you can pass an
+@code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} as the @code{#:config} paramter to
+@code{dovecot-service}. As its name indicates, an opaque configuration
+does not have easy reflective capabilities.
+
+Available @code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} fields are:
+
+@deftypevr {@code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} parameter} package dovecot
+The dovecot package.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} parameter} string string
+The contents of the @code{dovecot.conf}, as a string.
+@end deftypevr
+
+For example, if your @code{dovecot.conf} is just the empty string, you
+could instantiate a dovecot service like this:
+
+@example
+(dovecot-service #:config
+ (opaque-dovecot-configuration
+ (string "")))
+@end example
+
