Don't know if i'm the right person, but .... :)

i could write down the ideas i had so far. 

Write the rules in the database. (You will do it anyway! :)) This would
allow  us/me to use this informations also for creating filter files on the
server. With cyrus you have sieve, which allows you to create filter scripts
on the server side. There is also phpsieve available, which allows you to
install the new filter files from remote on the imap server.
And with qmail you have maildrop(like procmail), wich allows you to sort the
messages already on the server side.And we can write filter rules for
"email"/Squirrelmail which do the sorting when you open the folder.


>From the gui i would display the headers of the email, with select boxes
behind, so you select which header must be present to filter this mail.


This are my idea's i had so far. Don't know if they are usefull, but maybe
it's some input.
