I don't know what addflag is supposed to be, but:

Right, you need to convert the folder name in $address_file to an
absolute name. For mailbox, use "file", for maildir use "directory".

It all depends on how users save their mails. If you handle relative
paths right, you can run Exim and Sieve filters mixed:
file = ${if eq{$address_file}{inbox} \
{/var/mail/$local_part} \
{${if eq{${substr_0_1:$address_file}}{/} \
{$address_file} \
{$home/mail/$address_file} \
}} \
}
This converts "inbox" to /var/mail/$local_part and anything else is
taken as absolute path, if it begins with "/", and used relative
to $home/mail otherwise. For maildir, use directory, but other than
that, it's the same.
