Automatically create filter based on selected email
It would be very helpful if there was an option from within the mail app where users could select a particular email and create a filter for it from there, creating the folder, defining the rule, and then running on existing mail. When creating from an email, the filter option could automatically generate some rules, like from the sender of the email you are filtering.
When I am going through my inbox and I see a particular sender is sending more mail than I prefer or it is starting to add up, it would be nice to just do it from the inbox, and keep moving through the inbox this way, rather than having two tabs open or going back and forth. If this could be done on mobile also, it would help there as well as the ability to move back and forth is tedious.

Hi,
I do filter my email to keep my inbox clean and organised, but in order to do that I have to open Filters, then add everything manually everytime I get an email that doesn't follow any specified filter rules yet. I would love to do it direcly from the main inbox list, where all my emails show up. Just to click on a particular email and (instead or next to the button SPAM) choose "Filter". Then the filter list would pop up asking if there is a filter already that could be used and if not, then create one.Now, it takes more time than it should and I skip it a lot of times. It would enormously help out.
Thank you!
