+ ANYTHING-me@example.com
+You also want this to be flexible and work as a 'catch-all' for any addresses you have as your suffix or prefix - you don't want to have to log in to the control page each time you want to create a new prefix/suffix.
+(you can also use a '''+''' instead of a '''-''' if you wanted to - just alter the settings appropriately below)
 This is all possible with two things:
-*An alias - set on the Control Pages
+#An alias - set on the Control Pages to - direct these extra addresses to your mailbox
-*(optionally) A sieve filter
+#(optionally) A sieve filter - to magically sort these messages in to their own IMAP folder

 ## Move messages sent to an address with a suffix eg, me-amazon@example.com in to a folder called Filtered/amazon, if it exists.

 *This filter uses the 'X-Delivered-To' header which is added by the A&A mail servers - even if you are BCC'd then the filtering will work. The X-Delivered-To is the 'envelope-to' header, which is the address the email was actually sent to by the sender (in lowercase).
 *You'll need to add this sieve filter - eg by using the (latest) Thunderbird Sieve extension, see [https://support.aa.net.uk/Sieve_Filtering#Sieve_Server_Settings Sieve_Server_Settings] for info in the 'Creating Sieve Filters' section
-*This won't be able to be added via Roundcube, as you can't paste in raw sieve code there.
+*To add via Roundcube, select 'Actions', 'Edit filter set'.

-You can create the folders automatically if you wanted add :create,  - but some mail clients won't refresh their folder list until they are restarted.  We also title case the new folder name - eg it will be called Amazon (capital A).
