sieveshell –help

sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server.  It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.

The following commands are recognized:

list list scripts on server.

put <filename> upload script to server.

get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

delete <name> delete script.

activate <name> activate script.

deactivate deactivate all scripts.

• -u user, –user=user

  The user whose mailboxes you want to work on. If not specified, it uses the same as -a.

• -a authname, –authname=authname

  The user to use for authentication. If not specified, it defaults to the current login user.

• -r realm, –realm=realm

  The realm to attempt authentication in.

• -p password, –password=password

  The password to use when authenticating to server. Note that this parameter can be seen in the process list. Use with caution!

• -e script, –exec=script

  Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.

• -f file, –execfile=file

  Instead of working interactively, run commands from file file and exit when done.
