Hi,

I am using dovecot and dovecot-sieve packages from Debian Wheezy (2.1.7-7+deb7u1).

I noticed that while using ":create" (from the mailbox extension) in my Sieve filter and "lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes" in Dovecot's LDA config it automatically subscribes to the destination mailbox even if that mailbox already existed.

Reading Dovecot's documentation and the mailbox extension RFC it seems subscription should happen only if it is a newly created mailbox and should not happen if the mailbox already existed.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5490#section-3.2 [[ 3.2. ":create" Argument to "fileinto" Command (...) If the mailbox already exists, this argument is ignored. (...) ]]

/etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf [[ # Should automatically created mailboxes be also automatically subscribed? lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes ]]

Also I noticed that if I don't use ":create" in my filters and instead set "lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes" in Dovecot's LDA config, then this time the behavior looks correct as the automatic subscription will only happen for a newly created mailbox.

Thanks, Vivien
