Is there a way to have a Sieve script create a non-existent folder rather than have it deliver messages to INBOX instead?

See RFC 5490 section 3.2 - ":create" Argument to "fileinto" Command: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5490#section-3.2

Thanks, Pascal.

The RFC doesn't mention whether this will subscribe a user to the newly-created mailbox (such as you can do with the -s flag to doveadm mailbox create) -- is that not done, or an implementation detail (and if so, what does Dovecot do?)

Thanks, Jeff

There is no explicit Sieve syntax for that. Dovecot automatically subscribes to a newly created folder upon delivery when the lda_mailbox_autosubscribe setting is set. Pigeonhole Sieve also uses this setting accordingly.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
