I use centos 5.4. Installed dovecot from source but I could not find maildirmake command. Could any one advice me about this?

with Debian Lenny dovecot-managesieve-horde-ingo is working. I mostly followed http://workaround.org/ispmail/lenny/server-side-sieve-filtering . One user has posted a ingo configuration in the comment section which worked for me. It’s the same configuration that Aleksey posted, but with tls – this also works for me.

best regards

Martin

>> Managesieve is not included in Ubuntu?
Look here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dovecot/+bug/129630

“This has been included in dovecot for intrepid. Thanks for the bug report.”

Aleksey was right.. PS: Aleksey could you also provide the dovecot.conf part of your managesieve configuration? I didn’t get it working perhaps my failure is on dovecots side..

1. Ingo 1.1 does not seem to support the file vfstype.

2. For the less experienced cats, “=>” must be substituted by “=>” (no quotes) on step 2 in this tutorial.

3. Aleksey’s solution works like a charm and it’s quite easy to implement.

4. I’d also change backticks ’ by single ticks ‘ (or whatever their name is) in Aleksey’s example.

5. Managesieve is not included in Ubuntu until 8.10 (Intrepid).

Thanks for such a wonderful post (and comments). Installing a full fledged mail server with webmail and sync capabilities is not easy, starting with all the options available and all the scattered info. I was about to throw the towell in favor of GMail + ScheduleWorld or the like, and now I only have to learn LDAP for addressbooks instead of MySQL.

But that’s another story …
