Do you have the namespace option enabled?  By default it is enabled.  In this
case you should define your filter like this:

filter foo
  ...
action move Folder/Subfolder

If you have disabled the namespace option ("set namespace = no"), then
your filter should look like this:

filter qux
  ...
action move INBOX.Folder.Subfolder

Of cource it is assumed that your IMAP mail server uses the Maildir format
for mailbox (folder) hierarchy.

No, the rmove/rcopy actions are used if you want to move/copy your mail to
a different IMAP mail server that the one that it resides.  For sorting of mail
in the same mail server use copy/move.

If you still can't make it work, send the filter you declare in the config
file.
