What it is

Sieve is a powerful script language for server-side mail filtering. It is intended to be used with IMAP and thus it is widely spread. Many IMAP Server are already sieved, this means capable of running sieve filters. Sieve stores and runs all script on the server-side.

Now there is the dilemma - you have access to a sieved server but, how do you manage your scripts on this server?

You can use telnet for this purpose, but that is fare to uncomfortable, not applicable for a normal user and almost impossible with secure connections. Wouldn't it be great to activate, edit, delete and add sieve scripts with a convenient interface? That is exactly what the Sieve Extension offers...

Project Status

The extension is an almost complete implementation of the sieve management protocol. At the moment only "SASL Plain" and "SASL Login" Authentication Mechanisms are supported, others may be implemented on request. Since there have not been any major Bugs, the project can be considered as rather stable.
