This is all possible with two things:
*An alias - set on the Control Pages
*(optionally) A sieve filter
==Alias==
==Sieve filter==
Optionally, you can magically move these messages in folders...
Once messages are being sent to your Inbox, we create a sieve filter to automatically move messages to their folder, if it has been made. If the folder hasn't been made, then they will be put in to your Inbox as normal.▼
▲Once messages are being sent to your Inbox with the alias above,

*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.

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).
set :upperfirst "suffix" "${1}";
fileinto :create "INBOX.Filtered.${suffix}";
== Create the folders ==
The sieve filter puts email in to a folder called Filtered/XXX, and as long as XXX matches the suffix in the email address, the messages will get moved to there.
So in your email program:
