Notes for using managesieve module with cyrus' timsieved.

Module managesieve is succesfully tested with cyrus' timsieved.

The genrated scripts can get very big, so adjust appropriately sieve_maxscriptsize in imapd.conf.

To upload the scripts for a mailing list, a mailbox called as the mailing list must exist. Otherwise the authorization does not succeed. Patch cyrus' timsieved's parser.c. Find the function cmd_authenticate and ignore the result of calling mboxlist_detail (approx. line 716, put in comment ret = FALSE; goto cleanup;.

Limitations: No support for TLS, Kerberos; No script deletion
