Add a "forward email" option to filter actions
I've recently run into an issue where I need to have particular emails forwarded to my wife when they fall into my inbox, and they're time-sensitive. It'd be easier to have these emails just automatically forward to an email of my choosing.

Not to hijack this thread, but if there is a technical cause of hesitation about sieve forwarding an implementation that would be almost as good (IMO) would be to be able to add message tags as a forward rule.on receipt.
Some emails just can't be forwarded based on from/to alone. But in sieve I can test the header values that are present and add them to a label. Then I'd likely be able to set a forwarding rule like "if this label is set then forward to this address"

Adding my use case to this feature request :
My banking software (Qonto) allows to forward emails with pdf invoices to a special email address. It then scans the invoice and attach it to the relevant bank transaction, for my accountant.
I already have filters for tagging / organizing invoices in folders.
I'd love to add an extra rule for forwarding.I can't use proton's built-in email forwarding system because :
- I can't confirm I own the email address I need to forward to, because it's not a "real" address I can check the emails from
- I don't want to duplicate and manage two sets of rules (I already have filters in place for those emails)
- I want to keep a copy of those emails in my account, not just forward -

Yes, should be part of the Filter function:
IF specific sender and/or subject etc
THEN forward to specific mail adres
AND <do other actions, e.g. mark as read, archive etc)/
