  didn't help:

jojda:~>ls -ld /home/erik ~/.sieve
drwxr-xr-x  141 erik     erik         8192 Nov 26 01:43 /home/erik
-rw-r--r--    1 erik     erik          297 Nov 25 20:44
/home/erik/.sieve

  any ideas how to troubleshoot this? how to get an indication that
cyrus is at least considering the file ~/.sieve?

  thanks,
