At the university of Athens they created a patch for this; see http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autosievefolder/ It is included in the Invoca RPMs, and Blaswave packages too I believe... I see in my man imapd.conf: anysievefolder: 0 It must be "yes" in order to permit the autocreation of any INBOX subfolder requested by a sieve filter, through the "fileinto" action. (default = no) autosievefolders: <none> It is a "|" separated list of subfolders of INBOX that will be automatically created, if requested by a sieve filter, through the "fileinto" action. (default = null) i.e. autosievefolders: Junk | Spam Which is what you're looking for, I believe. (I never used it though. I was considering it, but for us I think it would only make sense if you could use variables in the folder-names or so (like the month/year)....)
