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;
}
}
