Evidently those filters are stored on disc somewhere, and fortunately it appears NOT in the akonadi database (whew :))

Search ~/.kde or ~/.kde4 for a unique string you use in one of your filters. I found my spam/ham filters in

~/.kde/share/config/akonadi_mailfilter_agentrc

but also in

~/.kde/share/config/KMail-SpamHam-filters.txt

(possibly because I already exported them before). Note that the kmail2rc file in that same directory also has filter definitions.
