You also need to make sure that users can set their own personal Sieve scripts. To have a directory full of sieve
scripts at `~/sieve` where the user can select one to be active by symlinking it to `~/.dovecot.sieve`, set the
following in your Dovecot config, e.g. in `/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf`:
```conf
plugin {
sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
sieve_script personal {
driver = file
path = ~/sieve
active_path = ~/.dovecot.sieve

```
to make it so that a user's Sieve script would be at `~/.dovecot.sieve`. You can also set

sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve
}
