Ah right, in trunk as well:
if (ActiononScheduler::isEnabled() ||
    kmkernel->filterMgr()->atLeastOneOnlineImapFolderTarget())
in KMAcctImap::postProcessNewMail().
isEnabled() returns false for me, so that only gets enabled when moving 
messages to online IMAP folders.

Hmm, probably. I don't see an immediate reason in the code (and no comments of 
course). I'm tempted to just enable it, it would be for manually filtering 
only anyway (which does not use the action scheduler, the message is moved in 
KMFilterMgr::process(), which seems OK to me (it calls KMFolderImap::addMsg() 
in the end).
