Hahaha ;-). Folder hooks are a cool idea; I must say. Sieve filtering 
should happen on delivery, though. But with messages added through APPEND, 
the client expects the exact same message to be in the folder it APPENDed 
to when the command has finished, and clients do go haywire if the 
contents change or the message isn't there.

Does anyone know what other servers do? (Cyrus?)
