That setting changes the default `keep;' mailbox from INBOX to whatever the detail is. You can set lda_mailbox_autocreate=yes to make sure that the detail folder exists. If you don't want to create this folder implicitly, you have a bit of an issue. The use of the detail as the default keep mailbox has existed since the old CMUSieve plugin and I didn't bother to change this. There is currently no way to prevent this behavior, other than using `fileinto "INBOX";' explicitly rather than `keep;'. You can check for the presence of a detail in the message using the subaddress extension (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5233) and then do whatever is needed to prevent this error; i.e. not execute (implicit) keep. Better yet: you can also turn off this setting and let Sieve do everything. This way, you can define a default script that recognizes the detail and stores the mail in the corresponding folder if it exists. An example is here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Examples#Plus_Addressed_mail_filtering . Use the sieve_default setting to configure a default script which is executed when the user has no active Sieve script. Alternatively, if you always want a certain action for a detail'ed message, you can force it using a sieve_before script. Of course, it all depends a bit on what you're trying to achieve.
