Hmm. The Microsoft output contains a carriage-return character which messes up your string comparison (carriage-return = ctrl/M = ^M = \r in some programs but not I'm afraid in raw Shell). The "\r" is just a display but not the actual character.

To get rid of the carriage-return, insert this "tr" in your pipeline at the appropriate place (after "curl"). The "tr" program does recognise "\r" as meaning carriage-return.
Code:
          | tr -d '\r' |


Yes the space either side of the equals sign does make an important difference. As does the double quotes round the string variable. The syntax has to be exact for the "if" statement to work properly.

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
