Hi Steve,

While at it, it appeared to me that you don't need sieve for that
purpose.  With the recent commit ([1], [2]), you can just use
movemail as follows:

  movemail --keep --sync=uidnext --max-messages=100 \
     imaps://user:pass@server maildir://$HOME/.mail/myaccount-test/INBOX

(change source mailbox name, of course).  Options were selected to
provide a behavior closest to that of mbsync in your configuration.

Regards,
Sergey
