I cite the documentation:
"In the configuration dialog of the POP account you can enable download 
filtering by checking the 'Filter mail on server' box. Once you did 
that, you can specify a size which is used as a threshold. Messages 
exceeding this size will be checked against the filter rules you 
defined. If no filter rule matches, they will be shown in a 
confirmation dialog and you can decide what to do with them. The 
default size for filtering is 50000 Bytes. This is a good value as the 
overhead is kept to a minimum. Every message that is looked at by the 
filter causes additional traffic because the header of the mail is 
downloaded twice."

Did you read this and did you follow these instructions?

Regards,
Ingo
