I'm probably misunderstood this. As I understand it you have 5 messages
all sent to ac1, ac2, ac3, ac4, ac5. You then have 5 "mail boxes",
folders, 1 for each of the recipients. However you want the message to
be filtered to all of these folders. In effect message 1 ending up in
each of the 5 folders.

Is this a correct interpretation of what you want to do?

You have received each of the 5 messages once. They arrive in Evolutions
"real" inbox and you then want the filtering to pass each of the 5
messages to 5 folders; message1 going to folder for ac1, ac2, ac3
etc....

Does this process work if the action "move to folder" is changed to
"copy to folder"? I have probably missed the point altogether, in which
case I'll admit to drunkenness to try and cover for actual stupidity.
