Hi and thanks for the reply!

I applied the v4 patch, which worked fine, but I had to re-autogenize 
the whole project before configure would create the new Makefiles, i.e. 
aclocal, libtoolize, autoheader, automake, autoconf.

That was the problem in the first place, managesieve support wouldn't be 
compiled at all, so no binaries to run.

Thanks for that hint! Now the daemon seems to start fine and listens on 
port 2000. 

The problem I am having now is that it won't authenticate me, saying:

"Choose a different authentication method to PLAIN. is not supported.".

I am using a real unix user on the server, with .dovecot.sieve in a real 
home directory and PAM authentication (passdb: driver PAM and userdb: 
driver passwd), but this doesn't seem to be supported? Is there a way 
to get this to work or am I out of luck? Also see dovecot -n at the end 
of this message.

Thanks in advance!

Andreas
