Help with configuration?

[Ellie McNeill]

Thanks for some of the advice folks. I've got the delete/trash problem 
solved, but I'm still having trouble getting sieve to work.

I've read the documentation and installed dovecot-sieve. I'm not 
installing dovecot-managesieved at the moment though.

I have added 'sieve' to the mail_plugins= line on both 15-lda.conf and 
20-lmtp.conf files. I put a simple .dovecot.sieve script in my home 
directory and tested it with sieve-test and the script works fine. 
However, sieve itself is still not working. I have run 'doveadm reload' 
a few times but it still won't work. What could I be overlooking?
