I had a move rule on this imap account from INBOX to #mh/Archives_ML/INBOX, and dest dir wasn't
there, so I guess that move rules have a fallback moving to dest account inbox when dest folder
doesn't exists (which seems to me a bug) and if dest account inbox doesn't exists, to move to
the first inbox found, which is really worse (because it's moving email from an imap account to
another when the user doesn't want to).

But the moved mails were in a folder whith a rule containing a valid destination, either
another rule encountered before doesn't, so it's perhaps another bug.

Let me know if it's usefull to create a bug report on claws platform.

I'll see if adding these missings destination folders will solve the pb.



in case it helps, to see if all dest folders of all rules exists :

mhbase=/path/to/mh/accounts/root
sed -nre 's/.*move "#mh(.*)".*/\1/p' ~/.claws-mail/matcherrc |while read d; \
  do [ -d "$mhbase$d" ] || echo "$d doesn't exists"; done
