To clarify, the "I'd settle" above, is if there'd be no takers for my
initial proposal. :)
[As if I wouldn't have to settle for anything you fine people code for
us... :) ]
What you say would be better done with a drop-down than a slider, I
guess. Similar to Beam, BTW.
The "inclusive time frame" in my proposal would be if you leave the
left silder at "now".
I still like the concept of a flexible range instead a fixed length of
time.
Also, the "live preview" of hits of the future query is kinda neat.
Maybe your concern is that it's resource hungry when you just want to
browse quickly through many mails.
Besides that you only show/activate the query panel when needed,
normally for "Same Subject" there isn't much HD-churning at all, if
that is a concern. A "Same Sender == axeld" is more problematic if not
limited by a time range.
Also the range should be set to "now to last 7 days" or maybe "now to
last month" as default, which would cut back hugely on query time for
the preview.
It's really quite fast, try it:
(((MAIL:when>=%last 7 days%)&&(MAIL:
from=="*[aA][xX][eE][lL][dD]*"))&&(BEOS:TYPE=="text/x-email"))
That's over 170 hits in under a second. And you're a massive emailer :)
Try a normal person and it's pretty much instant.

Humdinger
