Not that I know of. Writing a fancy "Advanced Search" imap.el based package should be simple (except for the boring emacs widget work), and would come handy. I'm waiting until the GTK API is exposed through elisp though, the default emacs widgets are not worthy of spending GUI design time on IMHO. Integrating this with other Gnus backends is probably more difficult though... Sorry for not helping. :-)
