Thanks for the quick reply Timo!

I thought this might be required but just thought I'd ask in case there
was some clever way around it. I've successfully compiled and made the
cmusieve plug-in - now I'm off to try it!

Will the cmusieve plug-in be included in the official 1.0 release and
therefore the RPMs?

For future knowledge I took a look at the atrpms spec file and copied
their configure options but I also had to run make in the dovecot
sources before the required "dovecot-config" file was created.

Thanks,
Gavin
