Filtering in other folders will not work. KMail only filters messages in 
the IMAP inbox in order to prevent filter ping-pong.

The same or a similar behavior is present in KMail1. In KMail1 pressing 
F5 (aka Check Mail in This Folder) causes those messages to be filtered.

Hmm. Interesting. Here KMail1 only filters 1 message per second even 
though all of my IMAP-account specific filters only need the headers. 
But there are other non-IMAP filters that need the message body.
