[Dovecot] expire plugin and sieve

 Hi.

 I am running dovecot 1.2.9 here, allowing users to filter their mails 
 with the sieve plugin, and am using sieve to move mail tagged as 
 probably spam into the spam folder.

 I'm now looking to get the expire plugin working as well. It does work 
 as described in the wiki: Once I manually move messages into other 
 folders, the mysql database is filled with entries.

 However, the combination of sieve and expire does not seem to be 
 working: When sieve moves messages into a folder, no entry is created in 
 the database. Don't these plugins work together, or did I misconfigure 
 something?
