You're wrong on it being another server; it does work within IMAP.  But
you are right in that almost no clients support it.  Mulberry and
thunderbird are the only ones I know of.  However, there are web clients
that work and given that sieve scripts are rarely modified it probably
isn't too hard to justify forcing your user to go to a web page; much
more possible than forcing them to change mail readers.

Not possible.  You'd have to implement your own customized support
for that.
