email sweep
Microsoft's Outlook email app has a feature called "Sweep," which allows one to highlight an email, and then take action on and set up a rule for all emails from that sender.
Options include:
Move all messages from the Inbox folder
Move all messages from the Inbox folder and any future messages
Always keep the latest message and move the rest from the inbox folder
Always move messages older than ten days from the inbox folder
The default destination is "Deleted Items." Other options include:
Junk Email
Inbox
Archive
or any other folder the user chooses or creates.
It is very helpful for keeping one's inbox tidy, and could possibly ease the storage requirements on the server. It greatly simplifies the task of deleting an entire class of emails.
While I appreciate Proton not wanting to overcomplicate its products, it is possible that the overhead implementing it would entail might be obviated by the savings in storage.

Make a filter and then click “Apply to existing messages” within Settings.

This feature is very useful in Outlook and would be great here to keep our mailboxes tidy.
