Alan, you can use sieve with dovecot in an offline imap setup. All you have to do is compile sieve into dovecot: wget http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.2.tar.gz untar it cd /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.2/ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/pigeonhole/0.4.0 --with-dovecot=/usr/local/opt/dovecot/lib/dovecot make && make install I did this on a Macbook with dovecot installed from hombrew. Whenever imap process is launched by my mail client it automatically sorts my INBOX based on sieve rules. I can also do this manually: sieve-filter -e -W -v -C -u $USER ~/Messages/dovecot.sieve 'INBOX' Hope that is of some help. Damon
