Ok, so when I add the mail_plugins = sieve I get: sudo service dovecot restart Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecot
FPlugin sieve not found from directory /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf failed

I am assuming something is missing here?

I have Roundcube webmail (v. 0.8.2) running with the managesieve plugin (v. 5.1). I am able to create sieve rules without any problems in Roundcube, but incoming mail is not being processed with the rule I specify.

managesieve is the service for managing your sieve rules, it does not process any emails.

In order to actually sort mails into folders, you need to add the "sieve" plugin to your mail_plugins list.

protocol lda { .. # Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space separated # list of plugins to load. mail_plugins = sieve # ... other plugins like quota }

I didn't follow those instructions as I assumed that it would be installed with Dovecot from the Debian repositories. See output of commands below. And thanks again for the help!

I guess you are missing the sieve plugin completely, did you install the dovecot-sieve plugin? Where did you get sieve from and how did you install it?

Did you follow all the compile instructions at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot or did you install some package?

What do the following commands say?

# find /usr/lib/dovecot | grep sieve # apt-cache policy dovecot-sieve # dpkg -l "dovecot*"
