Dovecot already has a LDA (local delivery agent) that supports SIEVE for 
server-side filtering (works great, I'll have it installed on the new 
server I'm building).  This has nothing to do with IMAP, though; that is 
just a way to access e-mail.

LDAP isn't that hard to set up and it is pretty much globally supported, 
so trying to shoehorn this into IMAP is not a great idea.
