managesieve / sieve - append dot prefix on moving mails into folder
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
Hi Andre,
Would you mind sharing this roundcube plugin? I have been looking for something similar also as an example to code one for a different purpose.

Hallo!
If you didn't define a separator it's default is "." . So you would need to change "INBOX/Monitoring" to "INBOX.Monitoring" to be accepted.
And 10-mail.conf needs a "prefix=INBOX." --note the dot as a separator at the end.
Hope this helps Martin

And 10-mail.conf needs a "prefix=INBOX." --note the dot as a separator at the end. It might be, that prefix is empty, which should be valid too. But then you need to modify your sieve rule. Not 100% sure but I guess:
fileinto "INBOX.Foldername";
Hope this helps Martin
