-===== Using sieve plugin in Thunderbird ===== 
- 
- 
-===== Installation ===== 
- 
-The plugin should be found when search for 'Sieve' in Thunderbird extension search bar. 
-Simply install and you are now ready to go.  
- 
-===== Configuration ===== 
- 
-Below is the workflow step by step to access and create your first Sieve filter. You can create multiple profiles, but keep in mind that only one at a time can be activated. 
-  * To make it easier to access your filter rules, we recommend putting a shortcut to the sieve plugin on your main Thunderbird window. To do that, right click anywhere on the tab bar and select **Customize...** 
- 
-{{en:nomagic:client_software:thunderbird:sieve0.png?direct&600|}} 
- 
-  * Look for **Sieve filters**, then drag and drop to the main bar (as it shows on previous screenshot). 
- 
-{{en:nomagic:client_software:thunderbird:sieve2.png?direct&600|}} 
- 
-  * Click on the Sieve icon and click **Continue** on the welcome screen 
- 
-{{en:nomagic:client_software:thunderbird:sieve3.png?direct&600|}} 
- 
-  * Give your new set of rules a name 
- 
-{{en:nomagic:client_software:thunderbird:sieve4.png?direct&600|}} \\ 
-All done! The Sieve plugin comes with documentation included on the right side of the screen. 
- 
-<WRAP center round tip 95%> 
-To be able to use the different  //actions//, you need to import them first at the top of the file using **require**. You can do that as needs come, or put a quite general line like this: 
-<code> 
-require ["imap4flags","envelope","subaddress","fileinto","variables","vacation","reject"]; 
-</code> 
-</WRAP> 
- 
-<WRAP center round box 95%> 
- 
-==== Example ==== 
-In this first example we are setting up a 'flag' rule, marking any email coming from //management@nomagic.uk// as important, based on the Thunderbird flag colour numbers. 
- 
-  * We identify flag ''Important'' as number 1 from Thunderbird's preferences 
- 
-{{en:nomagic:client_software:thunderbird:sieve5.png?direct&600|}} 
- 
-  * We make sure at least the **imap4flag** action is activated, and we set up our filter.  
- 
-<WRAP center round info 95%> 
-Sieve plugin automatically checks for syntax error, which makes it very handy when you add / modify rules 
-</WRAP> 
-<WRAP center round tip 95%> 
-It is strongly advised to keep a commented label of each of your rules, as shown on the screenshot, with the format: 
-<code># rule:[rules-description]</code> 
-</WRAP> 
- 
-{{en:nomagic:client_software:thunderbird:sieve6.png?direct&600|}} \\ 
- 
-That's it, all emails from NOMAGIC's management will be marked with the important flag as they arrive in your mailbox! 
-</WRAP> 
- 
-===== Troubleshooting ===== 
-===== Authentication ===== 
-A vulnerability fix deployed by package manager on the 01/03/2018 resulted in the new requirement: 
-  * authentication mechanism needs to be set from client (as opposed to guessed during connection) 
-If the sieve plugin is not set properly to **Plain** authentication, you will get the following error: 
-{{en:nomagic:client_software:thunderbird:sieve_auth.png?direct&600|}}  \\ 
-Click on **Settings...** button, then select **Change Settings** and use the drop-down menu to select ''Plain'' from the **Security** tab
