I have webmail pro installed within a shared hosting environment hence have no root access and am constrained by the limitations of the environment.
I'm looking to have the sieve functionality (autoresponder, filtering, forwarding) though having spoken to the hosting provider they tell me that managesieve is not and cannot be installed.
Is there any other way of having this functionality?

If you need to use full Sieve functionality, moving to a different host is the only way I'm afraid.
A while back, one of our users created plugins which allows for filtering mails, autoresponse and forwarding, but those only work when you're logged into WebMail.

Thanks Igor, I've seen that plugin though will only work if you have root access to the filesystem.
Bit of a shame really, especially on the autoresponder, I would have thought you could rather easily write some autoresponder code (eg for out of office notification) as part of the regular cron job?

Honestly, I don't see how it could work. I mean, such autoresponse should be sent out as a response to incoming mail, which isn't something you can do via cronjob; unless we speak of going through the mails in the account and answering those - which doesn't sound very practical as we would need to mark mails which were answered already.

to my logic you have a last run timestamp for the cron job so you can look for all messages received since that time and process those.
You'd look for users who have autoresponder turned on so you're not processing all emails.
