Hmm, you know that the capabilities are returned by most servers as part 
of the greeting? stat() sounds like it would need to be in logged in 
state to get that. Is that correct? That would be bad, since you want 
to be able to query the server for features w/o logging in, probably.

How do you mark the active script? Executable?

The official URL protocol is "sieve". So I'd either ask Simon if you can 
replace his in kdenonbeta or you wait until 3.1 is tagged and commit as 
kdenetwork/kioslaves/sieve...

Actually, it's the server's regex implementation that has to deal with 
this issue. There are ways to make a regexp engine robust against such 
stuff, but e.g. QRegExp (at least in 3.0.x) performs not very well.
