dovecot - Jan 2016 - sieve and authentication

when i telnet to the sieve instance running with dovecot, i see that 
SASL is supported, but i cannot get thunderbird to connect to the sieve 
instance.  it seems that i am not providing the right auth methods for 
sieve to work.

"IMPLEMENTATION" "Dovecot Pigeonhole"
"SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation
subaddress
comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include 
variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate"
"NOTIFY" "mailto"
"SASL" ""
"STARTTLS"
"VERSION" "1.0"
OK "Dovecot ready."

i am setup with gssapi and pain auth mechanisms and want to leverage 
Kerberos / SASL for authentication.  what do i need to enable (and 
where) to get sieve working in a MUA?  i tried adding the digest-md5 
mechanism to the auth_mechanisms directive, but that does not work with 
Kerberos (or maybe my implementation of Kerberos in my environment).

any ideas where i should be looking?

thanks

You can't use the Sieve plugin in the addon store. (Its buggy)

Test with the latest one on github.

Cheers,

While that may be true, the RoundCubeMail plugin cannot talk to sieve,
either.
