Introduction

The interface provides a user-friendly interface that, in the end, creates part of a Sieve script, a so called rule. It then assembles all the rules to form a Sieve script.

For the sake of user-friendliness, it provides only a subset of Sieve's functionality; the main goal was to provide a simple interface for Joe User to create server-side filters without knowing anything about the language itself.

The plugin does not provide a parser; instead, it saves PHP meta-data in the script itself, in order to continue editing and manipulation of the filters. The only thing that is supported is a script called "phpscript" on the Cyrus server. Multiple scripts are not supported yet.
