Hmmm, I probably looked with my eyes closed then :(
What meta information is stored by kolab on the imap server, is this for the 
calendar, notes, etc folders? (heh just me being curious ;)

A search on sourceforge and freshmeat reveals the following apps (recently 
updated): 
http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Related_applications#Sieve_frontends

little too much for being an email filter fronted for a user.  Smartsieve 
looks good, but is not too recently updated....
