The imperative behavior and filter size limits are still annoying, granted. You can deal with it by staging through multiple labels, but it's not great.
If you're curious, the tool I came up with had a DSL like this:
$excom = from:example.com
$exorg = from:(example.org OR example.net)
if ($excom AND $exorg) AND -(to:me OR in:spam)
archive
if cc:person
label "Person"
end
end
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<feed xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:apps='http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006'>
<entry>
<category term='filter'></category>
<apps:property name='hasTheWord' value='(from:example.com from:{example.org example.net}) -{to:me in:spam}'/>
<apps:property name='shouldArchive' value='true'/>
</entry>
<entry>
<category term='filter'></category>
<apps:property name='hasTheWord' value='(from:example.com from:{example.org example.net}) -{to:me in:spam} cc:person'/>
<apps:property name='label' value='Person'/>
</entry>
</feed>
if (from:example.com from:{example.org example.net}) -{to:me in:spam}
archive
end
if (from:example.com from:{example.org example.net}) -{to:me in:spam} cc:person
label "Person"
end
But it had variable and did let you nest conditions which made it easier to write some things. (Or so I hoped. In the end I didn't feel it was worth it...)
