What about extension "mailbox"? https://wiki.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5490#section-3
A simple example (not tested, but should work):
note:
- I use '/' instead of '.' as hierarchical separator
- stop; stops the whole script, but you could use elsif instead.
require ["fileinto", "mailbox"];
if header :contains "header's name" "aaa" { if mailboxexists "INBOX/aaa" { fileinto "INBOX/aaa"; stop; } }
if header :contains "header's name" "def" { if mailboxexists "INBOX/def" { fileinto "INBOX/def"; stop; } }

Dear All,
Thanks ofr the great job so far.
I have crawled the doc & web, and did not find oh to check for the presence of a folder ina a mailbox?
I know about "fileinto :create" of course, but the purpose is slightly different: I want to automate the move into a folder based on some rules but *only if* an associated folder is present (which name is based on the rule), otherwise I will do a form of catch-all.
Example:
INBOX +- abc +- def
Rule detects "aaa" in someheader field: folder "aaa" not present" -> continue;
Rule detect "def" in some header field: "def exists" -> fileinto "def" ; stop;
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
