Sieve filters dont work in the system mailbox. Add a note about this issue on the filter page as well, instead of the mailbox page only.

changed the title
Usage of the system mailbox was discouraged before and adds some issues when migrating mail setups. See commit:d8915c86f171144e59f1b6a095ad3a401f7dbecc Therefore make it more clear that this is provided as a neat, quick feature, but not recommended for regular e-mail communcation. Use a normal mailbox instead.

I spent hours in my mailbox today trying to get Sieve filters to run according to the manual. No use, even debugging did not deliver any results. The filters can be checked in the webmailer GUI, linted via CLI, everything is fine - but nothing is executed. Until I accidentally came across the last sentence in the manual section about mailboxes, that filters do not run in the "system mailbox" at all. Well, I was working with a system mailbox.
So I added this information to the manual page about filters as well.
