Ok. Sieve (re)compiles scripts when it sees that they change (comparing file
dates). It does not cache scripts in memory.

I think I figured out what happened.  I think I edited the .sieve file but
forgot to save it, so I was actually running an old version that did not have
?mailbox? in the require statement.

On which note, two more questions:

1.  Is there any documentation about what ?requires? are needed to access
various features?  The only source I?ve found for this is reverse-engineering
examples.

2.  Is there a way to change the location of the sieve logfile that gets created
when a sieve script produces an error?  Right now it ends up in the same
directory as the script, but I?d prefer to have in /var/log along with
everything else.
