"Current status
There is already a bit of Sieve support in KDE. There's the sieve:/ ioslave that's being used to manipulate the Sieve filters through the Managesieve protocol.
Also, there's the Vacation ("Out of office reply") support in KMail 3.4, which is also based around Sieve and kio-sieve. It uses the Sieve parser that's in libksieve, so parsing the grammar of the language is basically done already."
Someone told me that new KMail implementations support Sieve-on-server, however I cannot confirm this (possibly because of the absense of the managesieve on the server :)
