This is best directed at one of the KDE mailling lists, but from the FAQ=20
posted at http://docs.kde.org/en/3.2/kdepim/kmail/faq.html

Why are my filters not applied to incoming messages of IMAP accounts?




Because KMail currently does not support this. You should use server-side=20
filtering (ask your admin for how to install filters on the server and in=20
which format), since IMAP is all about managing your email on the server.=20
Unfortunately, although there exists a mail filter language (Sieve, defined=
=20
in RFC3028), there is no standardized access protocol for installing or=20
editing server-side Sieve scripts. If such a protocol becomes available in=
=20
the future, KMail will most probably include support for it.

There is a kio slave to upload Sieve scripts to the server, but you still h=
ave=20
to have access to enable the script.  I think the kmail in kde 3.3 will hav=
e=20
additional support for server side filters.
