User study of new filtering & rules interface (jmap vs sieve)

Hi,

Did anyone participate in the new filtering & rules interface? What were your thoughts?

I had a chance and I'm glad I was chosen because I have some knowledge of Sieve.

So far it's looking pretty sweet. They can convert a JMAP query into a sieve filter and provide live preview!

The bad news because of the JMAP vs (traditional) sieve rules cause niggly UI/UX problems because of the overlap. They also have naming of rules to make long rules that travel over the entire page width have concise name width.

They don't distinguish jmap query rules versus sieve rules which is a bit annoying.

But it's a pleasant surprise and I'm glad they're integrating their jmap query system into their rules/filtering interface.

In the current incarnation I've rated the new filtering system as 6.5/10.0.

I hope they nail the UI/UX.
