Chapter 1. Introduction

Sieve Editor is an editor for Sieve scripts used for email filtering on a mail server.

Using Sieve Editor

Sieve Editor provides a GUI to perform these tasks:

  • Manage your Sieve servers

  • Upload, import and deactivate scripts, refresh the list with scripts

  • Create and edit Sieve scripts

  • Import and share scripts

  • Check the script syntax, autogenerate and debug scripts

Sieve Editor can be used independent from Akonadi or KMail, you only need a mail server with support for Sieve scripts.

In a KDE Plasma Desktop the passwords are stored in KWallet
