What Ingo backend are you using?

Sieve and Procmail only run during delivery.  But, for the IMAP backend,
anything in your INBOX is fair game for filtering - filters can get applied
everytime you access the inbox / hit the "run filters" icon / etc 
(depending on
how IMP is configured).

This the behavior you've described sounds like you're using the IMAP backend.
