Just whether or not you have filters? I'm still not sure exactly what you mean -
do you want a progress bar? Or just a "yes, I have filters running or no, I don't"?

I find it useful to be able to apply filters to mail when I want; I also don't
tend to filter incoming mail into new folders, so I'm more inclined to find
client-side filters useful.

I imagine there are people out there who'd want both, so they ought to co-exist
in the UI. I'm really not entirely sure what the best way to do that would be.
