And I think you should try with: fileinto "Junk"; Instead of: fileinto ".Junk"; (without the preceding dot that is) The preceding dot will automatically be added to the folder name by dovecot so it may create confusion if you use it too. Dovecot always uses the dot-prefix on folder names in the file system but this isn't really part of the IMAP/Sieve folder name that you wanna use. Regards, Mikkel
