A lot IMAP servers only support .mailfilter-like scripts (does courier
have support for Sieve?).

Support for .mailfilter (and Sieve scripts, but there are Sieve-script
deployment daemons afaik -I know it looks a lot like a POPd-)
deployments on remote locations doesn't really sound like a difficult
issue when using GnomeVfs. 

In stead of writing and reading the script from ~/.mailfilter, you'd
read/write it from sftp://username server/.mailfilter. So it's just a
preference for the advanced user.

Which only leaves the need for a userinterface for the scripting-
language (which is, of course, not trivial).
