## Move messages sent to an address with a suffix eg, me-amazon@example.com in to a folder called Filtered/amazon, if it exists.
if exists "X-Delivered-To" {
if header :regex "X-Delivered-To" "-([A-z0-9]+)@" {
set "suffix" "${1}";
fileinto "INBOX.Filtered.${suffix}";
}
}
▲ stop;}
</syntaxhighlight>
*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
*
===Variations===
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, or the folder list collapsed and reopened. We also title case the new folder name - eg it will be called Amazon (capital A).
<syntaxhighlight lang="sieve">
set :upperfirst "suffix" "${1}";
fileinto :create "INBOX.Filtered.${suffix}";
</syntaxhighlight>
If you're using a + rather than a - to separate the suffix, then adjust the regex in the sieve filter above to be like:
<syntaxhighlight lang="sieve">
if header :regex "X-Delivered-To" "\\+([A-z0-9]+)@" {
</syntaxhighlight>
