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 found the issue I believe. Instead of my filter filing the message into the folder first then mark as seen I had to do the opposite. This is the proper syntax now:

if anyof (header :is "subject" "Check dd") {
    addflag "\\Seen";
    fileinto "Junk";
}

Sorry for all the noise.
