This solution address the current problem with the (for some people)
unwieldy long list of filters in the filter window. I think it would be a
good solution. I can think of others too, but it's still good. To reverse
the view on the filter problem to start off with the resulting folder,
when that is relevant, as Niemiec suggested, may be another good
solution, though I'm not sure where it best be implemented GUI-wise nor
if it actually has to have anything to do with the suggested smart folders.

Currently as my solution to this problem I mark up the list with inactive
filters in a fashion to become headlines and organize the relevant
filters under these.
