OPTIONS

-v name
    View script with the given name. The script if retrieved successfully is output to standard output.

-l  List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active an arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script.

-p port
    Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to sieve as defined in /etc/services.

-i file
    Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon successfully putting the script on the server the script is set active.

-a name
    Set name as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the -l option.

-d name
    Delete the sieve script on the server with name.

-m mechanism
    Force installsieve to use mechanism for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism supported by the server is chosen. Specify login to use the LOGIN command instead of AUTHENTICATE.

-g name
    Get the sieve script with name and save it to disk with a “.script” extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten.

-u userid
    Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
