That's expected. By design, users have to choose if they use ksieve or 
ingo. They don't mix or enhance each other's rules.

Ingo is a mail filter editor that translates its rules into a target 
language (sieve, procmail, imap commands, whatever). It does not 'read' 
these formats.

Ingo generates its own sieve script file top to bottom and activates 
this file as the relevant file.

Any other sieve script is no longer active after this change.
In case both use the same file name, ingo rule updates would discard any 
rules in the same file posted by other parties.

There's different ways to handle this. One could have a marker in the 
sieve script which delimits a verbatim or foreign script artifact. It 
would be specific to sieve but since that's the most prominent backend, 
it makes sense.
