But (unless I missed something) that still would not provide a way of  
manually applying the mailbox's filters (the ones in the right hand  
list) to existing mail.  When I add a filter to a mailbox, I usually  
want to apply it to the existing messages, but an "on reception" filter  
will be applied only to new messages (specifically, those flagged as  
"recent" when the new mail is detected).

I guess I could use the proposed "Apply selected" button before moving  
the filter over to the right hand list...but that requires planning  
ahead, and I'm very poor at that!
