Maybe *I* missed something..

The previous behaviour was:

filters in the left side: nothing occurs when you click apply
filters in the right side: filter applied to the message in the box
filters in teh right side AND "on reception" checked: filter applied  
automatically when a message is received.

I think this (old) behaviour was the right one.

 Otherwise (new behaviour) the only mean to apply a single filter to a  
given box, is to move ALL the filters but this one on the right and  
then clic "Apply Now".
