I remember seeing something like that too, and when I got KDE 3.2
installed a few days ago on my laptop, I noticed KMail had "Search
Folders". I just briefly looked at it thinking "oh, so they implemented
this", had a little bit of look around, before I went on to more urgent
matters.
I didn't explore it in any depth, and so I don't know if it does what
you intend, but as I said, it appeared to me to be at least intended as
an implementation of these ideas. So, you might want to check it out.
Cheers,
