correct settings for your account. It should look like the image below.

Create inbox rules
Show inbox rule steps
NOTE: Filters can sort your incoming mail. Autoreply and forwarding are not available.
In order to setup your sieve filters for your account, and not just in your local client, you need to login to the webmail client.
From there go to Settings, then Filters.
Click the first plus sign to create a filter set.
Then click the second plus sign to create a filter.
When you are finished, click save.
Use address labels (plus-addressing)
Add +label before the @ in your email address.
For example, use user+newsletter@example.com for a newsletter.
Mail sent to this address arrives in your existing inbox.
You do not need to create an alias or another mailbox.
Choose a label such as shopping, work or accounts.
Use a different label for each website to help identify who shared your address.
Labels are visible to senders. They do not hide your regular address or block unwanted mail.
Everything after the first + and before @ is one label.
In user+shopping+amazon@example.com, the label is shopping+amazon.
Labels do not create separate logins, passwords, quotas or sender identities.
Create an inbox rule to move messages for a label into a folder.
The label does not create a folder or a rule automatically.
Use recipient information when your mail client exposes it.
The To field alone can miss messages sent with Bcc.
Replies normally use your regular address.
You can send from a labeled address if your mail client lets you change the sender.
A label cannot send as another mailbox.
Some websites reject addresses that contain +.
Use your regular address or an alias on those websites.
