mailcow compress and encrypt mail stored inside the “mailcowdockerized_vmail-vol-1” docker volume.

The documentation has a description on how you decrypt or re-encrypt the mail files inside the volume.

This requires that you enter the dovecot container and paste the logic. That is rather cumbersome, so here is a bash script which you can run from anywhere which takes care of that.

It take two flags “-d” for decryption and “-e” for encryption, which needs to be supplied when you run it.

    find /var/vmail/ -type f -regextype egrep -regex '.*S=.*W=.*' | while read -r file; do
        if [[ $(head -c7 "$file") == "CRYPTED" ]]; then
