Are these maildir or mbox folders? From the format above it sounds like
mbox. Perhaps these sample stanzas from mine will help if they are
maildir
:0
* ^Subject: .*(Blogger post failed|DBMAIL: delivery failure)
/dev/null
:0
* ^Subject: .*(embroider|cross-stitch)
${MAILDIR}.INBOX.Sewing/
The first consigns messages with either of the two strings to /dev/null,
the second directs messages to the Sewing sub-folder.
If you are using mbox you will need locking, so ':0' becomes ':0:' and
you should remove the final slash from the folder name. HTH
