Alan, you can use sieve with dovecot in an offline imap setup.
All you have to do is compile sieve into dovecot:
wget http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.2.tar.gz> untar it
cd /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.2/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/pigeonhole/0.4.0 --with-dovecot=/usr/local/opt/dovecot/lib/dovecot make && make install
I did this on a Macbook with dovecot installed from hombrew.
Whenever imap process is launched by my mail client it automatically sorts my INBOX based on sieve rules.
I gave this a try, following the documentation from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration
Unfortunately I have an error:
,---- | Establishing connection to tunnel:/usr/local/Cellar/dovecot/2.2.10/libexec/dovecot/imap -c ~/.dovecotzimbra.rc | Error: Can't load plugin sieve_plugin: Plugin is intended to be used only by binaries: lda lmtp (we're imap) | Fatal: Couldn't load required plugins `----
This is the configuration file I tried: protocols = imap mail_location = maildir:~/.Maildir/zimbra:INBOX=~/.Maildir/zimbra/.INBOX mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/.sieve } The documentation says that one can only use the plugin with lda or lmtp. How do you use it with imap?
Anna,
I use lda.
Here are my relevant config files:

Hopefully that helps, although I'm guessing you've already figured it out.
