Hi Chris,
thank you very much for your helpful answer!
deliver was configured fine already.
But I was not aware that I need another tool/configuration for managing sieve-scripts. I am using pysieved now (with Sieve for Thunderbird) and everything is working fine. Great...
Kind regards,

Hey Jens,
the big picture is:
The sieve plugin works with deliver. Deliver is the lda (local delivery agent), which comes with Dovecot. To use it you need to configure your mailer (postfix / exim / sendmail) to deliver emails using Dovecots deliver instead of writing to users maildirs or mailfiles directly.
To use the managesieve protocol you need a patch to Dovecot - the MANAGESIEVE patch. You'll find a lot of information about it in the mailing lists archive and there are links in the Wiki.
You should start reading about lda deliver in the Wiki. Once you've got sieve working you can start to worry about managesieve :).
Good luck!
Chris.
