[Dovecot] How to create .dovecot.sieve through IMAP?

[Sergey A. Lipnevich]

Hi All,

I suspect that the answer is "no way," but there's hope. I'm trying to 
set up a PHP application Ingo (part of Horde suite) to create the file 
<home>/.dovecot.sieve for the "advanced" LDA to do mail sorting. Because 
PHP is running under a Web server user, Ingo can't really write this 
file directly. My question is, is there any way for Ingo (or any other 
tool, for that matter) to create that file via IMAP protocol 
interaction? Horde authenticates users and "knows" login/password 
combination (that's how it accesses mail folders).
Thank you!

Sergey.
