Description

An option to log all actions made by imap clients could help discovering mailbox abusers.
dovecot has a plugin:

I'd say "default=disabled" as it could be verbose.

Test Case
  • Enable LogActions property: config setprop dovecot LogActions enabled
  • Update dovecot conf: signal-event nethserver-mail-server-update
  • Check logs for the actions: tail -f /var/log/imap

As you can see all actions are logged, i.e. (mail moved to trash).
