Keep in mind that the Sieve language and the Sieve protocol are two 
different things. The Sieve language is what processes incoming e-mails; 
for Dovecot it is executed by a plugin for LTMP or LDA during message 
delivery. The Sieve protocol - which is actually called ManageSieve - is 
used to upload Sieve scripts to the Server. That mail_plugins setting 
applies to the Sieve protocol, for which currently no useful plugins are 
known. The Sieve protocol service does not (currently) open any mail 
stores, which makes configuring mail-related plugins for it - such as 
quota and trash - utterly useless.

So, in short, the answer to the above question is no.

To help you further, we need some more information about your 
configuration. First of all, please provide the output of dovecot -n to 
this list. Also, describe more thoroughly what is going wrong. Do you 
see any log messages, etc.

Stephan.
