Hi,

Another reason to implement Sieve support in Evolution -  Zimbra uses
Sieve to store its mail filters.  I have logged a feature request for
the Zimbra Evolution connector here:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1882430&group_id=205508&atid=993928

but it probably requires server side filtering to be implemented in
Evolution.  The bug for that is here:
