dovecot - Jul 2019 - Sieve question

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).
