How will and login? Will it know which

| A LHS of "foo+bar" will do roughly the following:
|

| happens.
|
| - if a message is just "kept" (or there is no sieve script), then it will

| authorized as) doesn't have the 'p' permission, this will fail.

I presume that ("user.foo.bar") is a mailbox name. Does that map to a
file or directory in the file store?

So if the user wants that particular destination to be stored separate
they can create the mailbox in advance to ensure that?
