That's because it doesn't exist, at least not in the manner you are thinking.

Yes, that works to apply filters to existing messages, but I suspect what he 
wants to be able to do is define a filter and have it NOT applied until he 
applies it manually.

When you define a filter, you have the option of setting it or Incoming or 
Outgoing mail only, there is no MANUAL option - something I have been 
requesting for God-alone knows how long (I mean, if Kmail can do it...:-))

If you are using IMAP, you can disable the application of filters at the 
server level, but if you are using a POP server that option is missing.
