I have the following in my active sieve file, and there are no errors logged.

if header :contains "to" "+root" { setflag "\\Seen"; fileinto :create "root"; stop; }

The message is put in .root, bit is not marked as seen.

Is the default action to put mail in a folder matching the extension taking precedence?

That should work. What version is this (output from dovecot -n`)? There have been some bugs with flags in the recent history.

2.3.6 (7eab80676): /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

Pigeonhole version 0.5.6 (92dc263a)

OS: FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p10 i386

It seems ti be working now. Does dovecot need to refresh the sieve rules periodically? (It has not been restarted recently., so it’s not that).
