This is the tracker bug to rewrite the current c++ based filtering mechanism in JavaScript.
That is nsIMsgFilterService, nsIMsgFilter etc.

The goal is also to make it work with modern js async operations, but finishing that part may require work beyond this bug.

Using sieve (RFC 5228) to save filters would make sense, as you can also sync them to the mail server (RFC 5804) and execute them at the server, to have them filtered with other clients too.
