Is there a sieve builder plugin for IMP?
I'm already heading down the road with IMP/Horde. About half way installed. 
Thus far, Horde has been quite simple. My biggest problems have been dealing 
with the FreeBSD ports. php4 in particular pissed me off to no end.
ALL_OPTIONS=    BCMATH BZIP2 CALENDAR CDB CRACK CTYPE CURL DBASE DBX DOMXML \
                DOMXSLT EXIF FILEPRO FRIBIDI FTP GD GDBM GETTEXT GMP HYPERWAVE 
\
                ICONV IMAP INTERBASE INIFILE MBSTRING MCAL MCVE MCRYPT MHASH \
                MIME MING MYSQL NCURSES OPENLDAP OPENSSL ORACLE OVERLOAD PCNTL 
\
                PCRE PDFLIB POSIX POSTGRESQL PSPELL READLINE RECODE SESSION \
                SHMOP SNMP SOCKETS SYBASEDB SYBASECT SYSVSEM SYSVSHM TOKENIZER 
\
                UNIXODBC WDDX XML XMLRPC XSLT YAZ YP ZIP ZLIB

.for opt in ${ALL_OPTIONS}
.if defined(WITH_${opt}) || defined(WITHOUT_${opt})
BATCH=          yes
*grumble* Sorry... Still venting over that.
Oh yeah. Back to IMP and Sieve.. Any such pluging/feature?

James.
