Actually, I found it quite handy to mass-moves of messages
in folders (I didn't have a kronolith filter setup, and so it
all invaded my INBOX <g>) - setup the filter, apply it, delete it.

Some suggestions:

o Can we make the Field chooser checkboxes, so we can 'to or cc'
  type choices?

o Select an actions by default in the radio buttons?  E.g. the
  'move message to' would be a good one, since what I tried was
  just to select a folder and make a rule, but I didn't notice that
  you had to explicitly select the radio button for that to work.

o If an error does happen, it would be nice to prefill the fields
  that were entered by the user; a small error shouldn't wipe the
  whole set of fields and need them to be re-entered.
