Block Sender in bulk and by domain
The "block messages from this sender" option is great. Please add an option beneath to "block messages from this domain" because future messages from the domain still require blocking. This would save lots of time compared to the Filters page in settings.

This is extremely important feature to better organize any mail app as we do know some company just sends you tons of email from different emails. Spam puts specific email address in spam folder but there is no option if someone like to block organization's domain which can go a long way to better equip users to deal with spams

I block domains fairly frequently, and the current workflow for doing this via the web interface is tedious. I have to copy the email address (two clicks), go the filter page (three clicks), add-> block (two clicks), click domain, paste the email, delete everything except the domain, click add domain.
Proton lets a fair amount of obvious spam through its global filters, so I'm doing this with some frequency. If I could block the domain from a context menu on the email I'd be a happy camper.

Block Senders works great and is one of the main reasons I moved to Proton Mail. HOWEVER, now the spam comes from multiple email addresses within the same domain.
One way to fix this is to offer to block the domain if more than one (or two or three) senders from the same domain are blocked. This will make it more efficient as I'm sure my Block Sender table has LOTS of domain duplicates!

Being able to right-click and block an address is nice, but so often what I want to block are the domains that these addresses come from (spam). It would be great to be able to right-click and block the domain for messages. Otherwise, there are many steps to do that. Thanks.

This is definitely something we could use asap.
I did post a request for a bulk option for blocking senders. So, maybe this could be added to it as well.
Here is the idea I'm referencing:

The "Block Senders - Bulk Feature" would enable users to efficiently block multiple email senders at once, directly from their inbox or spam folder, without the need to open individual emails.
This option would simplifies the management of unwanted emails and helps in decluttering both the inbox and spam folder. By allowing users to handle spam more efficiently, it also ensures that opening emails, which can inadvertently send information back to the sender, is avoided. This streamlines the process of blocking spammers, making it easier for users to sift through their spam folder, enhancing their ability to quickly identify and recover legitimate emails that were mistakenly marked as spam.
This refinement in email management promises a more organized inbox and a streamlined approach to blocking unwanted senders, substantially elevating the overall user experience with email.

Hello. In December 2022 for a short period of time you had block domain. It was great! it was only accessible from the filter page but you got rid of it too quickly. Please bring it back, even if you still can only access from that one page, I need it lol.
