Sieve makes no assumptions no mailbox names, so using what Courier
uses makes sense. You do need a string expansion on $address_file,
there is no way around. For courier, it needs to expand:
inbox -> ~/.maildir
inbox.folder -> ~/.maildir/.folder
Something like this (untested):
directory = ${if eq{$address_file}{inbox} \
{$home/.maildir} \
{$home/.maildir/${sg{$address_file}{^inbox}{}}} \
}
That way, fileinto "inbox.subfolder.mymail" will save to
~/.maildir/.subfolder.mymail/new.
If you want to allow INBOX as well, a case-insensitive comparison must
be performed.
