Inbox Auto PGP encryption seems to break when mail was filed into any non-inbox folder

The inbox Auto PGP encryption seems to break when mail was filed into any non-inbox folder. I got a couple of rules that simply match a sender (or partial sender) and then use "File Into" for a folder, and whenever one of those matches the mail ends up saved completely unencrypted:

I would understand this happening if the "fall through" at the right hand side was disabled, but it isn't disabled, so that the inbox encryption rule doesn't apply afterward seems like a potential bug. or is there something I missed that makes this intended behavior?

Have you tried first encrypting and then moving the mail. I can't remember but I think I read that somewhere.

But that would potentially break filtering if it depends on contents, right? It doesn't make logical sense to me to do it in that order.

I think mailbox should repair the filter, unless there's a reason this is somehow intended. It sure looks like a bug.

It seems like as of today, 2025-07-01, this problem seems to be still ongoing.

Have you created a support ticket? If so, what was their reply?

I haven't since I have an account with no technical support included (sadly I'm a bit short on money). Feel free to create a support ticket if you want to.

I don't know how the inbox encryption exactly works and if it can be "fixed" easily. But it would be great if we could at least add a header via the Inbox Rules. Then I guess we could bypass the current limitations of the inbox encryption. Have you tried to send an e-mail to helpdesk @ mailbox.org?

The mailbox.org IMAP server obviously supports the editheader extension. So maybe this can already be achieved with an external sieve editor. But I am not sure if it will break the inbox encryption.

Adding a header doesn't seem to work and in the mailbox.org suite I am now getting an error:
