SUMMARY

Currently the mail filters only support full conjunction (AND) or disjunction (OR) over all criteria.  The filters could become much more expressive if nested criteria could be defined, such as `a AND (b OR c)` or even `(NOT "From = foo") AND ("Subject = Interesting")`.

For me this would resolve use cases where for example I receive mails to different addresses on the same mailbox, and I want to apply different filters on some of them.

UI/UX IDEAS

Unfortunately I do not have a completely intuitive UI in mind which would be ideal for casual and power filter users alike.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: Currently 5.15.3 (20.08.3) on Debian Bullseye
