[Dovecot] Managing IMAP IDLE/Push with Sieve – possible?

[FF]

Hi,
Thanks, that's interesting -- two questions:

1) Why is it not possible? Just not implemented, or is there any 
technical reason that actually prevents it from being implemented?
2) What do you mean by INBOX? Another, completely separate email 
account? Yes, that would be my backup plan.

Thanks,
F.F.
