SieveManager
############

Sieve is a programming language for filtering email. Sieve scripts are
typically run by the mail server when mail is delivered to an inbox,
so they need to be managed remotely.

SieveManager is a command-line client for uploading, downloading,
and managing remote Sieve scripts using the ManageSieve protocol.
It can also be used as a Python module.

**WARNING**: The command-line interface, the configuration semantics,
and the Python API may still change.

Example
=======

Upload and activate a Sieve script:

.. code:: none

$ sievemgr user@imap.foo.example
user@imap.foo.example's password:
sieve://user@imap.foo.example> put script.sieve
sieve://user@imap.foo.example> activate script.sieve

In Python:

.. code:: python

from sievemgr import SieveManager
with SieveManager('imap.foo.example') as mgr:
mgr.authenticate('user', 'password')
with open('sieve.script', 'br') as script:
mgr.putscript(script, 'sieve.script')
mgr.setactive('sieve.script')
