I answered this one through IRC already, but for future reference I'll 
post it here as well. Like you said, the configuration of SSL/TLS is 
pretty much the same as the other two mail daemons. However, note that 
managesieve does explicitly not support an imaps/pop3s equivalent, so 
the use of STARTTLS is mandatory. The use of an SSL layer from the start 
of a session is not documented in the specification of managesieve, nor 
required/supported by any client I have seen so far. That's why I've 
left that functionality out, though implementing it would be trivial.

Marcus also noted that it would be wise to add the configuration of 
managesieve to the dovecot-example.conf in the patch. The next release 
will include this.

Regards,

Stephan.
