Hello good people,

I have dovecot- 2.3.7.2 (Ubuntu  Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS) running fine.

However, I have a hitch with mail filtering.

Using SOGo as the webmail UI, I created a filter rule which resulted into the rule below:

require ["fileinto"];

if allof (address :contains "from" "odhiambo") {

    fileinto "INBOX/Odhiambo";

}

However, the test mail I sent did not end up the folder expected.

lda.log contains this info:

Oct 30 07:39:07 lda(wash@mydomain)<2415266><tSKSHhvDm1+i2iQA9H6eMA>: Info: sieve: msgid=<CAAdA2WNqXpG1qmOmKp_pJPS6iQrEPeS6=vM_=o8UnvR152x54Q@mail.gmail.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX'

Oct 30 07:39:07 lda(wash@mydomain)<2415266><tSKSHhvDm1+i2iQA9H6eMA>: Info: sieve: Execution of script /var/spool/virtual/mydomain/wash/.dovecot.sieve failed, but implicit keep was successful (user logfile /var/spool/virtual/mydomain/wash/.dovecot.sieve.log may reveal additional details)

And the .dovecot.sieve.log contains:

sieve: info: started log at Oct 30 07:39:07.

error: msgid=<CAAdA2WNqXpG1qmOmKp_pJPS6iQrEPeS6=vM_=o8UnvR152x54Q@mail.gmail.com>: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX/Odhiambo': Invalid mailbox name: Name must not have '/' characters.

What might be the problem here??
