Hello,

http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-1.2-managesieve/file/tip/README contains 
the paragraphs (line 47):

"
mail_location =
     If, for some inobvious reason, the sieve_storage remains unset, the
     managesieve daemon uses the specification of the mail_location to find out
     where to store the sieve files. However, this is provided only for backwards
     compatibility and you should always use the sieve_storage setting in stead.

Additionally, the ManageSieve service uses the following settings from the plugin
section of the config file. These settings are the ones used by the Sieve plugin.

sieve_dir =
     This specifies the path to the directory where the uploaded scripts are
     stored. Scripts are stored as separate files with extension .sieve, all other
     files are ignored when scripts are listed by a ManageSieve client. If this
     setting remains unspecified, the mail_location setting is used as explained
     above.
"


Because sieve_storage is not mentioned anywhere else in the document
and because of this discussion:
http://dovecot.markmail.org/message/kzjpwdhyqhdn53zd , I suspect that
sieve_dir is the older naming of it. However, the source code uses
getenv("SIEVE_DIR") in lib-cmusieve, so this assumption is probably wrong.

What's the correct meaning and placement of sieve_storage and sieve_dir ?

Bye,
