Hi

...

In repo.dovecot.org, the libpigeonhole_settings.so went accidentically to dovecot-managesieved package instead of dovecot-sieve package.

The thing is though I installed dovecot-managesieved as you suggested and the error that Dovecot did not recognise any of the sieve directives in dovecot.conf went away **but there was still not any Sieve functionality**. I double/triple checked and confirmed that — only after installing Pigeonhole did Sieve work.

The pigeonhole compiled installation put more files into /usr/lib64/dovecot/settings/ than dovecot-managesieved did. This is my current listing after removing dovecot-managesieved and installing Pigeonhole from source. Installing dovecot-managesieved only put three files into Settings.

It did work for my rhel10 test. Not sure what went wrong in your case.
