Pretty interesting. Good idea to use icons. Of course the icons should "match" the theme a tad better, but generally why not. Wonder what others think.
I find it pretty cool :) In any case, I would first do a "text-based" filter UI, "a la gmail", where creating filters by form-filling is easy too.
Now, since I am new to the list and I haven't had the time yet to check all the mail archive, I might be talking out of my ass here; if so, simply skip the mail to the end, please 8)
This is a UI, so I guess there must be a backend. However, I don't think that RC should do any mail filtering. It should allow to *manage* filtering rules stored in (and used by) the mail server, "a la maildrop" filters, where manage would mean create too, of course.
But, again, I think this should be done through RPC, by using some web service that controls the mail server, filter creation, etc. This way, RC would manage/create/delete filters and send the manage/create/delete petition to the RPC server that would actually apply it to the user's mail flow, etc.
In any case, your work is a cool, awesome idea :D :D
My 2 cents!
