I think Kontact/KMail offers the optimal solution here by integrating the
command-line filters with its graphical interface. You just have to choose
one of bogofilter, spamassasin or whatever in the Anti-Spam Wizard and
Kontact sets up the appropriate filter rules and toolbar buttons.

I think it's cool that they don't try to reinvent the wheel (like
Thunderbird does) but let the users select their favorite, already mature
tools. (They also do it the same way for anti-virus filtering, which may
become relevant in a few years too...)
