Ah, yes. Really, I looked to mpop options, it can call various LDA's. And, dovecot-lda has "-m" parameter,
which allows to specify the mailbox name. So, I can deliver the mail arrived by fetcher, via dovecot-lda,
and Sieve filters will work. Also, as a bonus, delivering mail via LDA will correctly update user quotas -- the
problem which resolved by itself :) Great :)

Yes, this is a variant. But what if I modify the Dovecot post-login script (a wrapper for IMAP process), or
add the sieve plugin to protocol "imap {mail_plugins = ...}" ? Will it be invoked on each operation with 
mailboxes?
