Hi Alex,

I didn't configure anything explicitly in dovecot.conf and I am able to
create folders on the same level as inbox and filter mail with sieve ( I
use a filter to move spam to a folder called Junk). I use the following
in my global sieve script in order to move spam messages to junk for a
specified account:


require ["reject", "fileinto", "comparator-i;ascii-numeric",
"relational", "imapflags"];

if  allof(
        header :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric"
["X-Spam-score"] ["6"],
        address :is "Delivered-To" "test at example.com"
) {
        fileinto "Junk";
        stop;
}


I'm using dovecot-beta8 and sieve cvs snapshot from 13may, with postfix
2.2.x with virtual users in a mysql database.

Hope this helps you
