Hi Sergey,
Sieve says it's version 3.19 and that's what the guix package says it is [0].
Attached is a minimal `mbsyncrc-myaccount`, which works. I do:
mkdir ~/.mail/myaccount-test
mbsync --config mbsyncrc-myaccount myaccount --list
$ mkbsync --config mbsyncrc-myaccount --list myaccount
INBOX <==> INBOX
A normal session would be:
# download new email:
$ mbsync --config mbsyncrc-myaccount myaccount
# then run sieve:
$ sieve --mbox-url=/home/steve/.mail/myaccount-test/INBOX --verbose
~/.config/neomutt/sieve-test.sieve
# recheck email:
$ mbsync --config mbsyncrc-myaccount myaccount
The sieve recipe was:
require ["fileinto", "variables"]
set "folder" "maildir:///home/user/.mail/account";
if exists "to"
{
fileinto "{folder}/backup-allmail";
keep;
}
Thanks!
