Thanks for your response.

I guess this is probably true technically, but those filters were always
manual ones, I never created references to any specific account. I guess
it was done automatically upon creation. I'd consider that a bug, should
I file it as such? (I don't know whether it is still relevant for the
KF5 version.)

Thanks, I'll try that.
