I couldn't come up with a nice looking solution so far. You need to
have the value as text/label/something plus a slider. Like:
[Same Sender] since 14 days ago ----^-------------".
Is it obvious that the "14 days ago" is changed with the non-descript
slider?
OTOH, everybody would just try the slider once and sees what it does...
Should I do another mockup?

From the text:
"LMB on query icon to open the query result window, RMB for "Save
Query...", "Save as Template...", or drag&drop to save."
I also see the problem of conveying how to start the query.
I'd like to have the start mechanism to the left, because if you just
expanded the query view, your mouse is in the area and chances are the
query formula already fits.
I don't really like a picture button with a border. Maybe the query
icon could jump on mouse-over like the rest of the toolbar icons. Plus
a bubble help "Search".
I'd prefer the icon over a generic "Search" button for aesthetical
reasons.
