Just found this by accident - more support for the Evolution Sieve
support argument :-)

The sieve mail filtering language specified in RFC 3028 has now been
implemented in a wide variety of user agents (UAs), mail delivery 
agents (MDAs), and mail transfer agents (MTAs). Several extensions have
been specified (RFCs 3431, 3598, 3685, 3894) and have also been widely
implemented. Several additional sieve extensions have been defined in
various internet-drafts.
