You have to simulate the delivery after synchronisation. However, I wonder 
how this is to work:

1) you sync news mails from A -> B
2) you process them with Sieve on B, possible out them into other folders
3) next time you sync the filtered mails back to A, because they appear to 
be new.

But I guess you cannot run Sieve on A?

You could re-submit all "new" & unread messages to get them to the LDA on 
B.

The new libsieve library of Stephan Bosch does include a tool called 
"sieve-filter". It applies a Sieve script to all messages in a folder.

In addition there is a "sieve-test" tool that:

"
- -e     Turns on true execution of the set of actions that results from 
running the script. In combination with the -l parame‐
               ter,  the  actual  delivery  of  messages  can be tested. 
Note that this will not transmit any messages to remote SMTP
               recipients. Such actions only print the outgoing message to 
stdout.
"
