This might be helpful:
Right now only time for a quick look. Looks like yet another server with yet another protocol (via port 4190), rather than integrated into IMAP as an extension. I'm doubting all my email clients have support for this.
You're wrong on it being another server; it does work within IMAP. But you are right in that almost no clients support it. Mulberry and thunderbird are the only ones I know of. However, there are web clients that work and given that sieve scripts are rarely modified it probably isn't too hard to justify forcing your user to go to a web page; much more possible than forcing them to change mail readers.
Looks like I will need to do a lot of reading on Sieve and ManageSieve to be sure it's safe. For one thing, I want to turn the vacation feature off unless it can cross check a list of valid senders (user contacts).
Not possible. You'd have to implement your own customized support for that.
