Option to add address to existing filter
I would like a quick way to add an address to an existing filter, instead of creating a new filter which is currently available.
For example: I have a label named “Friends”, and a filter which adds that label to any mail from friends that I have added to that filter's conditions. If I get a mail from a new address that I want to be automatically labeled with “Friend”, I would like to have to option to “add to existing filter”. Currently, I have to either create a new filter or go into the filter settings and add it manually.
I would like to keep my filters few and multifunctional, and this would help me do that.

This is the biggest drag on efficiency today in the protonmail platform.

I often have to open multiple tabs, go through each new filter I created, and then merge them. It is unnecessary since you already know what filters exist, and you can't have two filters with the same name, an error I often run into. I have spam, X spam, junk, x junk, spam 2, etc.

Please add this - having to manage so many filters for individual emails is silly if they're all the same thing!!

This would make my workflows so much more easy, from an existing email, adding the sender (or adresses) to specific filters without having to go through whole motion of settings->filters->select filter->edit->add->next->next-> save ...

This is super important. It's such a waste of time. Plus, if you just think "nevermind, I'll create a new one", you end up reaching the limit of the number of filters pretty quickly.

Completely agree. It takes way more time than it should to add an email to an existing filter. Instead...for example, in the email with the desired sender, click Filter On > From Sender > Next > Add Filter Window Opens and at the bottom there's a link that says, Add to existing Filter. That then becomes a drop down that displays existing filters OR, opens a new window with the existing filter options. > Select and Complete.

This is a great idea! It would be very useful to be able to add a sender's address to a filter that a user has already made. The "Filter On" button in an email does not address this, because it creates a new filter.
