[Dovecot] Managesieve: first steps

[Joseba Torre]

Hi,

I'm trying to get managesieve to work but, as usual, I have some issues...

- First of all, the compilation process after applying the patch is a bit 
strange. I've used this way (i'm using centOS 4 for this pre-tests):

$ tar zxvf dovecot-1.0.0.tar.gz
$ cd dovecot-1.0.0
$ gzip -cd ../dovecot-1.0.rc28-MANAGESIEVE-v4.diff.gz | patch -p1
$ autoreconf 
(This ends with an error about missing ./ylwrap)
$ automake --add-missing
(This copies ylwrap to ., but fails if executed before autoreconf)
$ autoreconf
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install

but I'm quite sure that should exist a better way... 

- After this, adding

protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve

and

protocol managesieve {
  listen = *:2000
  login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login
  mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve
}

to dovecot.conf, everything seems to work fine (pop3 and imap work as usual, 
and I can connect to the managesieve port), but dovecot -n gives no output. 
(If I put out managesieve from the protocols, dovecot -n gives the normal 
output again). (This output is appended at the end)

- Finally, I'm using Plain as the authentication mechanism, and I've been 
unable to connect using kmail or the sieve extension for thunderbird. As I'm 
not sure if any of these really work, I'll setup horde for further testing. 
Is there anything that I should be aware of?

dovecot -n output:
