About creation of non-existant folders, why not simply add a New_folder 
button next to the target folder selection in the config dialog. I 
don't see the need for automatic folder creation. If the user wants to 
move messages to a folder he could simply create it at once. Why should 
folder creation be delayed? I know that procmail does it this way. But 
procmail is no GUI app.

IMO invalid filters should simply be ignored and there should be a 
warning on program start (maybe with the buttons Ignore and Configure). 
In the filter dialog invalid filter should be marked and then the user 
can simply delete those invalid filters which he now longer needs.

I'm against your idea to add options like

to the filter config dialog. This will only clutter the config dialog 
with IMO unnecessary options and confuse the average user.

Ingo
