dovecot - May 2018 - Second rule isn't apply when first rule matches

Dear list,
I want to define two concurrent rules : 
1. I want to flag an e-mail containing the word "cloud" in the body
2. I want to move mail sent explicitly to me (as opposed to mail sent to an
alias I am part of) going to "INOBX.I must answere this"

If I put rule (1) first, everything works as expected. If put rule (2) first,
only that rule applies.

Here's a small test case you should be able to reproduce on your setup. 

Let's work on this fake test e-mail :

$ cat testmail.eml

Date: Mon, 28 May 2018 12:41:53 +0100
From: friend at otherdomain.tld
To: me at mydomain.tld
Subject: dur dur la vie

mon fr?re, le cloud c'est le top du top


Here's the first, broken version of the script

$ cat test.sieve

require
["body","fileinto","imap4flags","vacation"];

# rule:[Mail about me]
if anyof (header :contains "to" "me at mydomain.tld", body
:text :contains "ahmed")
{
  fileinto "INBOX.I must answere this";
}

# rule:[Mail about the Cloud]
if body :text :contains "cloud"
{
        addflag "\\Flagged";
}


Let's test it out, the two rules should be applied : 


$ sieve-test test.sieve testmail.eml 

Performed actions:

 * store message in folder: INBOX.I must answere

Implicit keep:

  (none)

sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success
$ 



Notice that the last rule isn't applied although it matches. Now we invert
the order of the rules and apply the script on the same test e-mail :


$ cat test.sieve

require
["body","fileinto","imap4flags","vacation"];
# rule:[Mail about the Cloud]
if body :text :contains "cloud"
{
        addflag "\\Flagged";
}

# rule:[Mail about me]
if anyof (header :contains "to" "me at mydomain.tld", body
:text :contains "ahmed")
{
  fileinto "INBOX.I must answere this";
}



Running the test again : 

$ sieve-test test.sieve testmail.eml 

Performed actions:

 * store message in folder: INBOX.I must answere
        + add IMAP flags: \flagged

Implicit keep:

  (none)

sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success
$

The IMAP flag was set !


Any ideas ?

I Forgot to mention I am using dovecot version 2.2

You should read the specification: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5232

Summary: the addflag command doesn't actually add the flag to the 
message immediately; instead, it adds it to an internal list of assigned 
flags. Only once fileinto is executed, the current list of flags is 
applied to the message stored for that particular fileinto action. 
Performing an addflag will not affect fileinto actions that were 
executed before; it will only affect fileinto (and keep) executed 
thereafter. That is why the order is so important in your script.

Regards,

Stephan.

Thank you Stephan for the detailed answere.
