There are some annoying problems with the filterdialog:
1) A filter without action is not possible. It sounds odd, but a filter without \
action can be quite usefull, if only to stop the filtersystem from processing the \
other filters for a particular message. For instance, I wanted to add a filter for a \
source of messages that my spamfilter incorrectly classifies as spam. I wanted to do \
this by adding a filter on the From field, without an action but with the \
stop-processing checkbox. This doesn't seem possible however.

2) If filters are not possible, you should not be able to exit the dialog or apply \
the filters. Still, the OK and Apply button are availabe at all times. They should be \
disabled if you can't save the filter in it's current state.

3) If you choose not to implement 2), then at least the dialog informing you that the \
filter can't be saved should have a cancel button to return to the dialog. Now all I \
can do is OK the dialog, wich results in loosing the filter I had just entered. That \
is NOT ok at all! If KMail doesn't like my filter, than at least let me change it and \
don't simply discard it. _______________________________________________
