Cyrus (Sieve) and external programs

[David Lang]

several years ago I used a system that subscribed to the various folders and 
watched for messages to appear. Unfortunantly, that software was abandoned and I 
haven't gone looking for a replacement in the last several years.

but it did work very well, at very little load on the system (fastmail was a 
little concerned at seeing many connections from me, but once they learned that 
they were mostly idle watching for new message notifications, they relaxed a 
bit)
