Email filters are "Per account" so no you can not have a global filter.

Thanks Matt

I leave here the suggestion to create global filters (to cope along with the current account filters)

Any way I solved this stuff using "Global Inbox"... But I rather have the 2 options... and a global filter (one that acts in the current received message overriding individual accounts) would be a mush simple choice for the user...
