Thanks, Stephan,

I ended up using another method. The goal was to prevent email clients
to copy emails in the Sent folder, but still allow import emails
procedure to append emails using the APPEND verb in this folder.

I used sieve include, and added "keep;stop" in the included file during
the import procedure.

However, thanks to you, I know know what is possible.

Kind regards,
André
