| * **Full text indexing**: this feature allows dovecot to create full text indexes, which will make subsequent searches (TEXT and BODY) much, much faster. The downside is that it'll take extra space on the hard drive, and consume more memory and CPU (default is disabled). More info on this feature here: [[http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Squat|http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Squat]] | * **Full text indexing**: this feature allows dovecot to create full text indexes, which will make subsequent searches (TEXT and BODY) much, much faster.

| * **Master user**: if enabled, the admin user will be able to login on the IMAP server as any user. For example, use user1<nowiki>*</nowiki>admin as login, and the admin password as password, and you'll get access to user1 emails. This can be usefull if the admin wants to troobleshoot something in the mailboxe, or need to copy some folder from one mailbox to another. The default config disables this feature.

| * **Extra logging**: The default dovecot log level is appropriate for high trafic installation: only most important actions are logged: daemon startup, config reload, user login and logout. With this feature, you can trace IMAP activity for each user (when mails are opened, deleted, copied, flag changed etc…).

| * **Sieve scripts and manage sieve daemon**: this feature adds sieve scripts support. Sieve is a script language for server side mail processing when mails arrive in your mailbox. With this, you can create filters, reject mails with a custom message, configure a vacation message, forward some mails etc…. These features are often also available on mail clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, Evolution etc…) but the advantage of using sieve is that everything is processed on server side, as soon as the mail arrive in your INBOX, which means everything will work even if your client is not running.
