Do you see that folder in other email clients (eg. Thunderbird)?

Sieve scripts (server-side email filters) are stored in a.dovecot.sieve directory server-side if the server is using Dovecot + Pigeonhole, but it’s weird that it’s appearing as a folder in an email client!

Hi @Daniel ,
I have just installed Thunderbird to try this out; this folder is not shown there.
