+IMAP METADATA
+=============
+
+Dovecot supports the IMAP METADATA extension (RFC 5464)
+[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5464], which allows per-mailbox, per-user data
+to be stored and accessed via IMAP commands.
+
+To activate metadata storage, a <dictionary> [Dictionary.txt] needs to be
+configured in the Dovecot configuration using the 'mail_attribute_dict' option.
+
+To activate the IMAP METADATA commands, the 'imap_metadata' option needs to be
+activated.
+
+Example:
+
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Store METADATA information within user's Maildir directory
+mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes
+
+protocol imap {
+ imap_metadata = yes
+}
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
