Why no sieve support (Vacation, Forwarding) in SOGo Groupware

The situations:

• If you chose to install both Roundcube webmail and SOGo Groupware during iRedMail installation, sieve support is enabled in only Roundcube webmail.
• If you chose to install SOGo Groupware and no Roundcube, sieve support is enabled in SOGo out of box.

The syntax/format of sieve rules generated by them are not compatible with each other, so iRedMail enables sieve support in Roundcube webmail and disables it in SOGo.

!!! warning "Pitfalls you should know"

* On SOGo web UI, the sieve rules are read from its SQL database directly,
  not get from managesieve server. So if you modify the sieve rules by
  editing the sieve file on file system manually, you will lose the
  modification next time you update sieve rules from SOGo web UI.
* SOGo stores sieve rules in its SQL database first, then dump the rules to
  mail server (by managesieve service listening on `127.0.0.1:4190`).

If you want to enable sieve support in SOGo, please enable parameters below (by removing the comment mark // at the beginning of lines below) in SOGo config file (/etc/sogo/sogo.conf):

    SOGoSieveServer = sieve://127.0.0.1:4190/?tls=YES;
    SOGoSieveScriptsEnabled = YES;
    SOGoVacationEnabled = YES;
    SOGoForwardEnabled = YES;

To disable sieve support in Roundcube, you can simply remove plugin name managesieve from its config parameter $config['plugins'] =.
