I have enabled sieve and it works just fine for basic moving messages to folders. However the problem comes in to play when a user selects something like "delete" or "mark as read" in the filter. It just simply does not do that function. I have installed the imapflags and imap4flags and added the needed parts to the dovecot config but it still does not seem to work. We are running Centos 6.3 with dovecot-2.0.9-2.el6_1.1.x86_64 and dovecot-pigeonhole-2.0.9-2.el6_1.1.x86_64 installed. What could I be missing to make this work?

I think I see part of my problem. I am using postfix and dovecot. So in the postfix main.cf I have this:

mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -a "$RECIPIENT"

While that was fine when we were on the 1.X branch on our old mail server I think it needs to be changed to something more like this:

mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT"

Ideas?
