Dovecot Object Storage Plugin

Question

I know this isn't a very technical question; but where can I find the high-latency object storage addon for amazon s3? The official Open-Xchange site link gives a 404 to the 'Dovecot Store'.

I've been restlessly trying to have this done for quite few months to no avail, even emailed dovecot co-founder Mikko Linnamäki who told my project isn't big enough, and to ask the "open source community".

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you're looking to download the object storage plugin, you're out of luck as it's a commercial plugin that only works with the commercial dovecot pro.
