[Kolab-devel] [issue991] Better error message when connecting to sieve fails

[Bernhard Herzog]

New submission from Bernhard Herzog <bh at intevation.de>:

When the webadmin interface fails to connect to the sieve port and the user
tried to change e.g. the vacation settings, kolab gives a very unhelpful error
message:

  Not currently in TRANSACTION state
  Script was:
  [...]

It would be much better if the admin interface detects the error as soon as the
connection can't be established.  AFAICT this should be simple enough.  After
instantiating the PEAR sieve object, check the return value of the getError
method and give an appropriate error message if an error occurred.  

There are several reasons why the connection to the sieve port can't be
established.  Currently there's no easy way to figure it out short of adding
some debug code manually.
