SieveManager#
SieveManager is a command-line client for uploading, downloading, and managing remote Sieve scripts using the ManageSieve protocol. It can also be used as a Python module.
Sieve is a programming language for filtering email. Sieve scripts are typically run by the mail server when mail is delivered to an inbox, which is why they need to be managed remotely.
Warning
SieveManager is a work in progress. The command-line interface, the configuration semantics, and the Python API are subject to change. And it’s probably buggy.
EXAMPLE#
Upload and activate a Sieve script:
$ sievemgr user@imap.foo.example
user@imap.foo.example's password: <password>
sieve://user@imap.foo.example> put script.sieve
sieve://user@imap.foo.example> activate script.sieve
In Python:
from sievemgr import SieveManager
with SieveManager('imap.foo.example') as mgr:
mgr.authenticate('user', 'password')
with open('sieve.script', 'br') as script:
mgr.putscript(script, 'sieve.script')
mgr.setactive('sieve.script')
