email filters are hard enough to maintain efficiently/effectively for just one
account.  i have a couple accounts, and thus now must maintain two separate
filters.  the problem happens when there is a lot of overlap, so when i update
one filter for one account i need to update the other also.  , both of which
have a lot of overlap.

this could be solved multiple ways... the easiest probably being to have a
fourth column for users to specifiy which account it should be good for, with a
default of all.  another solution would be to offer users a language that allows
more control over what goes where.  in this case, most users will still be able
to do relatively simple filters just as easily (or hard) as they already can,
but more advanced users will have much more control.
