Sieve Script errors - permission denied writing to sub folders

[Paolo Negri]

Cyrus imap delivery is abstracted from unix user, you can have imap 
users who doesn't exist in unix passwd or equivalent cause cyrus support 
a great variety of auth backends.

While is always user cyrus that, under O.S. aspects runs imapd and sieve 
processes, in its internal cyrus respect the imap permissions and looks 
at IMAP permissions. Sieve scripts of a specific user (i.e.) mark, are 
executed as IMAP user mark, than they respect permissions for this user.

Analyzing my installation of cyrus i see that default permission of 
user's mailbox are "lrswipcda" (equivalent of all permissions), these 
perms are automatically extended on each subfolder of mailbox, so any 
script working within the user's imap space works correctly by default.
