I have a dovecot & dovecot-sieve running under MacPorts on my macOS ’server’. I do a very low tech maintenance on sieve, by using the cli on the server and edit sieve by hand for myself. I’d like to open this up to other users.
How do people use this from their macOS clients? For this, the ManageSieve protocol exists and this is implemented by dovecot-sieve, but other than installing roundcube and offering a web-based mail client that also supports ManageSieve, is there another way? A ManageSieve client that directly runs on the macOS client and interfaces with dovecot-sieve on the server?
After all, routing mail to different mailboxes better happens server-side so that all clients profit.

Welp, I use https://github.com/philpennock/sieve-connect <https://github.com/philpennock/sieve-connect>
But that means editing .sieve files and then pushing them to the server.

Might not be exact what you want but Thunderbird has a sieve add on which works nice

Unfortunately, Apple's mail client (mail.app) has no sieve management features included, so I use Roundcube Webmail to manage my sieve rules.

You can use one of the mail client apps, that offers support for Manage Sieve.

Thunderbird is available for mac OS and it has ManageSieve addon: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/sieve/ <https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/sieve/>
Not sure if there is any other native solution available.
