PLAIN is offered, but I had to use

     sieveshell --user uid at mydomain --authname=user at mydomain localhost

instead of

     sieveshell --user uid --authname=user at mydomain localhost

UID alone should work but I still have the UID-Problem on my amd64 box posted
earlier.

Altough sieveshell works now I cannot explain the error in the kolab web gui
mentioned below.

I would like to write a CGI (preferably in perl) with which I can create, list
and store sieve scripts for my users. Probably such work has already  
been done. I would appreciate any pointers.
