The Kmail Help is the place to look:

"6.1. 

Why are my filters not applied to incoming messages of IMAP accounts?


Because KMail currently does not support this. You should use server-side 
filtering (ask your admin for how to install filters on the server and in 
which format), since IMAP is all about managing your email on the server. 
Unfortunately, although there exists a mail filter language (Sieve, defined 
in RFC3028), there is no standardized access protocol for installing or 
editing server-side Sieve scripts. If such a protocol becomes available in 
the future, KMail will most probably include support for it."

This is from Kmail 1.5
