An untested idea I had on this: Create a filter named "---DIVIDER---" at the very bottom of the filter list and set it up like this: [x] Filter incoming messages [x] Filter outgoing messages Conditions: [always] Actions: [No action] [x] Do not perform subsequent filters for this message (I'm not sure about the terms' localizations, though - I'm using the German version currently). Then, move *your* new filter BELOW the above filter. This means, it will never get executed automatically, because the divider filter above it catches all messages and bails out. You then can safely set the [x] Filter incoming messages flag, which should make it show up in the filters list where you then can perform it manually. Again, not tested - but I think it should work.
