    What is managesieve?
    ---------------------

    A ManageSieve client library for remotely managing Sieve scripts,
    including an user application (the interactive 'sieveshell').

    Sieve scripts allow users to filter incoming email on the mail server
    and are supported by many IMAP servers.
    The ManageSieve protocol allows managing Sieve scripts on a remote
    mail server. These servers are commonly sealed so users cannot log
    into them, yet users must be able to update their scripts on them.
    This is what for the "ManageSieve" protocol is. For more information
    about the ManageSieve protocol see `RFC 5804 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5804>`_.

    This module allows accessing a Sieve-Server for managing Sieve scripts
    there. It is accompanied by a simple yet functional user application 'sieveshell'.
