It was my idea.

I'm sorry to hear that, but in fact, I think there's actually a 
bugreport for that - even by you IIRC ;-) (can't check due to 
bugs.kde.org being down - as well as cvs.kde.org and mail.kde.org 
:-((()

The problem is much deeper than that and in part stems from the fact 
that I haven't had time to rework the filter things yet (I was a bloddy 
newbie when designing them last year).

Some problems:

1. Although there is a slot in the filter manager that should get called 
when moving folders, it doesn't get called simply because there's no 
moveFolder() method in the folder manager.
2. The filteractions that have folders as parameters work with 
KMFolder's directly. I admit they should work with their ID instead. I 
remember trying to implement that some time ago. Not sure what wasd the 
problem back then.
3. Filter actions need a new state "enabled". This needs to be reflected 
in the GUI (preferably the listview). Invalid filters could then be set 
to disabled and a message box displayed that simply sais: "Some filters 
were disabled because their target folders are no longer present."
