Hello WWP,

No, those are not folder processing rules, but filter rules applied on
incoming messages; defined at configuration -> filtering

 `````````````````````
Account: joydeep at infoservices.in
condition: to_or_cc matchcase "users at lists.claws-mail.org"
Action: move "#mh/Mailbox/joydeep at infoservices.in/claws"

 ````````

I have pop3 based account only.
