Folders in the Inbox, and rules to direct the e-mails to the right folder.
Having folders is alright - but I would like to have folders under the "Inbox", where I can funnel e-mails to by some rules. G-mail is actually pretty good at figuring out what are new mails, promotions and updates. Albeit, I don't expect this type of machine-learning-based filtering any time soon from ProtonMail, so I would like to setup folders that sort of simulate that - because I generally know what is what.
So this request is for:
- Let there be sub-folders in the Inbox
- Let there be rules, that can direct certain e-mails to certain folders.

My use case: I don't receive many emails that stay in my inbox. I already filter and direct emails to folders that represent respective inboxes for each email address. It would be nice if those folders could be sub-folders of Inbox, since they are all de-facto inboxes. As part of this implementation, I would love to be able to set which inbox sub-folder displays by default. Hopefully this isn't enough creep to warrant a second feature request.

Ability to create folders under the Inbox is really something I am always missing. I hope this will be taken care of. /thanks

Agree with the above. Having to organise emails into folders manually is time-consuming, especially if you have a lot of emails coming in. Outlook has a similar feature where you can create folders and direct incoming emails to the specified folder.
This is not to knock protonmail, and it might not seem that important in the grand scheme of things, but when it comes down to organisation and productivity, it is an essential yet understated feature that would be appreciated.
I would imaging it would be a simple fix as there are rules for moving emails to trash or manually to a folder. However, i I could be mistaken...
