BCC to an email folder in Apple Mail

Is there a way to direct Apple Mail to automatically move an incoming BCC into a eMail folder that I specify within the header (which would require adding a custom header) or just into the message body?

What I'm thinking: Set up a rule in Apple Mail so that when BCC = [email@email.com] and body contains "file: [x]", move the message to the folder with the name [x]. However, Apple Mail (as of Sonoma) doesn't have a way to set the destination for moving a message to a variable. 🤔

One of the very many reasons I hate and do not use Apple Mail...

I know there is a feature in Apple Mail that allows you to automatically CC/BCC yourself. Is that what you're using? I'm not at a Mac right now, so can't test exactly how that works.

Bcc: is basically used when you are emailing a group of people and don't want all recipients to see who is getting the email. Not sure what other uses it can be used for.
