I dont thing sieve and notify will handle delete and append !
Write a script in python, perl, php (they have all 3 good imap
support) to monitor the mailbox.
Imap protocol is very powerfull, and if you just connect to an account
and select a folder,
the server can notify you about some (depend of the server) changes in
the folder.
This is not a mandatory feature, just a posibility of the protocol,
that some imap server provide.
I dont thing named above library don't handle this kind of callback,
and then you should
regularly check yourself for change in the forlder.
If you want more support about imap protocol you should post your
request on imap-protocol mailing list.
