Hi Unfortunately there is no manual on this. it works perfect if dovecot is using system authentication (pam), but the if using sql authentication. I think it cat not access the users sieve files which are in a directory owned by the virtual master user vmail. When using system pam authentication the users sieve scripts are in its home directory. The horde configuration s is the same for both, I could not see a parameter specifying to use the master user.

if you want to use master login:
passdb master-db { driver = sql query = SELECT password FROM users WHERE userid = '%{user}' and master_user = true master = yes result_success = continue }
see https://doc.dovecot.org/latest/core/config/auth/master_users.html
