it gets filtered in evolution/mail/mail-ops.c

it gets invoked whenever mail is appended to the mailbox, whether it
arrives from the system (or SMTP), the APPEND command (at least from
another client, possibly from Evolution as well tho it's been a while
since I've worked with the code so I'm not positive on that), and as a
result of COPY/GWMOVE commands on an IMAP server (other server types
will have other commands, obviously, but the idea is the same).
