First you have to create the filters via Edit->Filters as you said you
did. Then "bind" filters to the mailbox that will receive the messages
to be filtered (in general the Inbox, but you can also bind filters to
others). This is done via the Mailbox->Apply filters (in fact this
dialog lets you bind filter to a mailbox and apply them and/or just
bind them and sets options like filtering on reception which is the
most useful one for POP accounts for example).
So basically if you have POP mailboxes that you want filter on
reception you have to bind all the filters to be used to the Inbox
mailbox and check the upon reception check box in the apply filters
dialog box. You can later check that your filters have been correctly
assigned to your mailbox by reopening the dialog box "apply filters"
and see if the filters you set up are there with the correct options.
