Cyrus would not complain neither if it supported these options, nor if 
it did not supported them.

The above configuration is correct as long as the files are valid sieve 
scripts and readable by cyrus. Moreover, the patch is executed only when 
there is no user mailbox and the user logs into the system. And not when 
  you create the mailbox using cyradm or other administering tool.

Autosieve folder patch is a different patch from autocreate inbox/sieve. 
It implements the creation of a folder upon file_into command from a 
sieve script. Perhaps you should read the README.autocreate file for 
more information in these options or read the following links :

I believe that Simon's patches are very stable and always uptodate 
against security and bug fixes. So I am sure, you should try them.
