Hello mailinglist-subscribers,
i have an issue with the managesieve / sieve plugin in dovecot.
We use roundcube as webmailer and if i define a new filter to move incoming mails directly into a subfolder i get the following sieve-code:
require ["fileinto","imap4flags"]; # rule:[mail into folder] if allof (header :contains "from" "sender@domain.org") { fileinto "Foldername"; setflag "\\Seen"; }
So anything seems to be right and there are no errors on creating the correct syntax.
But if a mail comes from the named sender, sieve does not put the email in the folder "Foldername" but ".Foldername". It appends a dot (.) in front of the name and i have no idea, why this happens. There are no errors in logfile and all mails go into the .Folder.
Maybe it is wrong separator for mailbox, at the moment there is no separator defined in "10-mail.conf" and we use "Maildir" as mail_location.
I have also tried to change the target folder in sieve script an named him "INBOX/Monitoring" - as subfolder of INBOX but than i get an error in .dovecot.sieve.log with message:
Invalid mailbox name: Name must not have '/' characters.
I edited the new rule with roundcube / managesieve-plugin and maybe this needs separate configuration because of separator in foldernames? Please let me know if i should provide any extra information or dovecot configuration etc.
best regards Andre Hoepner
