Add ability to run newly created filters against existing mail
Can you please make it so we can run newly created filters against existing mail? Ideally based off the same criteria we can search on, applied retroactively.

When creating a filter, you have a checkbox "Apply filter to existing emails".

It will be great if it can apply new/updated filter rules to current emails instead of update them manually.

This is kind of a no-brainer to me. I'm not sure why this wasn't rolled out.

Indeed, being able to run the current filter against existing emails would also assure us the filter we created is correct.
