Just had my example of failure happen where it didn't filter an incoming mail. 
I'd had the first lot of filtering work fine on first run of kmail when i made 
my first reply to your email, i then went to another folder to read some 
others and got the "Retrieving....." message forever so i quit kmail, 
akonadictl stop, wait for server has crashed message, restarted it and 
reloaded kmail and my first reply to your email stuck in the inbox.
