I got got BogoFilter installed and configured in the Anti-Spam wizard. Although I can classify a mail as spam with the button and it is moved to the appropriate folder, it does not happen automatically after the emails are downloaded.

I use disconnected IMAP and tried to send the spam mails to local folders and IMAP folders to, but neither works automatically.

Any suggestions?

This is because IMAP filters do not work correctly at the moment. I believe there is already a bug on bugs.kde.org about this, which might hold more information.

Thanks, I could not find the bug over bugs.kde.org, but I assume it was my fault. I hope they will fix it soon.

Hmm, filtering now works...

Unfortunately they dont (ive tested 4.2.1, 4.2.0, 4.1.0, 4.0.0 and some 4.x.x betas). And unfortunately i couldnt find any response from KDE community to make it work - no bug on bugzilla (ive wrote first), one topic on forum, some threads on usenet, but in all of them response is the same - "use ctrl+j to filter manualy each message". Nice if somebody recives 3 emails a day, but if someone gets more than hundred a day on each of his three email accounts, it stops beight funny
Also i dont think that making this work would be so hard - all other email klients (GTK+) which ive tested haven't any problems with this.
Im so desperate, that im starting to think about some donation for anybody who will

Does your Spam filter appear in KMail > Settings > Configure Filters?

Ive got 4 filters there: Bogomail check, spam detection, mark as spam, mark as not-spam, all created by antispam wizard (sory if names aren't exacly as in english locale)

In the advanced tabs of both Bogomail check and Spam detection in the Configure filters dialog, are the desired accounts correctly selected? If they are not there, you may have to reconfigure KMail with a disconnected IMAP account.

I have testet the new version of KMail 1.11.1: (OS 11.1 - KDE4.2.1)
I have the same problem how it's describe obove.
All activated filter in my IMAP box can only shifted with manually email adress. That is never acceptable. In Thunderbird this function ist automatical in action since long time.

Given the way IMAP ( server side data ) works, you might find that Disconnected IMAP has a higher chance of working with Filtering.

That is difference between IMAP and disconnected IMAP account types besides that disconnected IMAP work offline ?

Ive tried with "Disconnected IMAP" accounts type and still i cannot force Kmail to filter my incoming mail.
Here is kmail export of my filters:

It appears that at this time then unfortunately, you are affected by the broken filters in KMail. It will likely be fixed when KMail is rewritten to Akonadi, which will hopefully fix many of these bugs. I know that KMail filters do work with POP3 mail.

I am not sure, but I think there is a way to process entire folders, probably from the right click menu.

Hmm so there are some people for which filtering of incoming imap folders work? So I suppose that this bug is related to a server configuration in some way? Am i right (because i have access to my dovecot configuration) ?

The bug is not related to server configuration. I do not know how Thunderbird filters the mail, but I suspect that it copies the new mail, in full complete with attachments to your local system for filtering ( which is not a good practice )

The difference between Disconnected IMAP and IMAP is that with Disconnected IMAP, a certain amount of data about mails is cached on the local system, while with IMAP it all happens directly on the server, nothing is saved by KMail.

You might be interested in IMAP Sieve scripts which should be able to provide spam filtering on the server side.
