User Controlled Email Filtering
I would like to be able to set up email filters such as those available on GMail and other mail services. I receive many spam emails that are not marked as spam and my inbox is constantly filled with junk mail from a few senders. It would be useful to be able to send emails to trash based on sender or specific keywords.
Full Email Filtering has been released in Version 3.4. You can learn more here: https://protonmail.com/blog/protonmail-v3-4-release-notes/.

Bump! I created an account just so I could suggest and or vote for this idea. Hushmail has an rule-based email filtering feature such that you could make all emails received from user X automatically be tagged with tag Y. I really enjoy seeing all of the ProtonMail improvements and hope that this feature can be one of them for the future!

E-Mails, that are already present in Contacts, should never be marked as Spam.
Thx!

I really want to make the switch full-time to Protonmail, but I just cannot get past the fact that I can't filter spam into the trash or block spam in any way. Once this implemented I will only use this email, but until then I have to stick with gmail.

Could this be a duplicate of https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-feedback/suggestions/7253358-user-controlled-email-filtering ? You could reallocate your vote to that idea so it gets more visibility.

We all need email filtering. Labels are useless and not folders and sub folders organization.
We all use this feature with gmail,hotmail,yahoo,zimbra,roundcube,dovecot etc..... -

filtering incoming messages based on subject, sender, recipient etc., and giving these messages appropriate labels, bypassing the inbox or deleting them upon reception is an indispensable feature. Really!

I support this idea strongly. I am trying to make the transition from gmail to protonmail. At the moment I am forwarding all mail from gmail to protonmail. The consequence is that all of the "Promotional" mail is now cluttering my protonmail inbox. There does not seem to be a way to filter it into a separate category. I don't think I will be able to leave gmail behind until this feature is available.

Would be interesting to integrated the possibility of creating some filtering rules for automate the storing of mails according to the sender or targeting words for exemple.. ;)

E-mails designated as Spam should be rejected / blocked from one's Inbox. i.e. g-mail's method. Right now, nothing seems to happen when I check an e-mail then click 'Spam' in the drop-down "More" menu, other than the e-mail is moved to the Spam folder. What does that accomplish?

I have 17 folders and about 30 filters on my primary yahoo account. I will not make protonmail my primary address until they add the filter feature + folders - my inbox would be unmanageable!

This is a must to use proton mail as my primary account

@tris - that is true for e-mail content, but as I understand metadata (To, From, Subject - the most used fields for automatic tagging / filtering) isn't encrypted with your private Maibox Password, or else Proton wouldn't know where to send the e-mail.

I suggest that you use Greylisting even if it will delay mail from new senders slightly. Around 80-85% of the spam do never reach the servers and that will greatly reduce the workload. I work for a large university and we have used Greylisting for a long time and it is still the most efficient anti spam tool.

Trying to blocki spammers like that is futile. You will always swat where the fly has been, not where its at.

This is exactly what its missing. With the amount of email coming in, this is very useful. Otherwise its just bothersome to manually label everything in a repetitive way :p

PLEASE - better spam filtering. I'm sick of marking emails as spam, and then getting the exact same email the next day. On a daily basis, my inbox contains more spam than legit emails! Frustrating.

Would be great, but it has to be processed client-side, as the protonmail servers cannot use filters to order encrypted e-mails...
