Hi Andre,

Cyrus is not the only IMAP server supporting Sieve:

http://www.fastmail.fm/docs/sieve/#implementations

Dovecot IMAP server also now support it:

http://wiki.dovecot.org/DovecotFeatures#head-cba5e5ad54ae095d800a548bf5b3bfd881d568e4

As well as Horde, Squirrelmail, and probably other webmail clients
support Sieve.  

I also noticed adding Sieve support was pretty high up in the list of
Thunderbird 2.0 features.

Regards

Murray
