Thunderbird Sieve Add-on

Mozilla Thunderbird needs the sieve service installed to run that add-on.

Install the sieve daemon

On Ubuntu, run

apt install dovecot-managesieved

Enable ManageSieved on port 4190/tcp

vi /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

protocols = imap pop3 sieve

service dovecot restart

Check configuration

netstat -putan | grep 4190

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4190            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      5464/dovecot
tcp6       0      0 :::4190                 :::*                    LISTEN      5464/dovecot

Sieve rules are located in

/var/vmail/domain.xx/username

The active sieve rule is usually a symlink to ispconfig.sieve

.sieve -> sieve/ispconfig.sieve

Open firewall

ufw allow 4190/tcp
