Why aren't my filters applied to incoming messages of IMAP accounts?
Because KMail currently doesn't support this. You should use
server-side filtering (ask your admin for how to install filters on the
server and in which format), since IMAP is all about managing your emails on
the server. Unfortunately, although there exists a mail filter language
(Sieve, defined in RFC3028), there is no standardized access protocol for
installing or editing server-side Sieve scripts. If such a protocol becomes
available in the future, KMail will most probaly include support for it.
