Auto delete emails after x days (in inbox and other folders)
Auto delete after x days.....
1) from a Information control point of view, it could be useful to have a maximum life of all mails before being auto deleted;
2) For long term use the space is limited and may fill up, especially if used with large attachments.
Being able to auto-delete emails after x days would help ensure that it does not fill up.
The number of days must be customisable per account as one size will not fit all!

This is a feature I would use on most of my emails.

Most people subscribe to newsletters, and more than they can read within reasonable time. It would be nice it unread newsletters could be automatically deleted after X amount of time. That would keep the inbox clean without to much manual labor.

Yeah I'll put three of my votes on this. I've achieved similar feats for gMail with relative ease using Google Apps Scripts, but I've always wanted it built-in to ProtonMail. It would make the system perfect. Filters and Auto-cleanup scripts working hand-in-hand XD
I'd want one set to auto-archive anything unread after 7 days, and another one set to move mail from the archive to trash as long as it isn't starred after 365 days. This is how I had my gMail set up.

This would be useful as an option within filters. In Gmail, a Delete action is available in filters but if one wants to delay that, one has to use a script. Currently there's no Delete option in ProtonMail filters at all, but if one were to be introduced and with the option to apply a Delay, that would be comparatively simpler.

Do not declutter your Inbox/Sent folder/Archive: Avoid it getting cluttered in the first place! This feature could come in very handy for this.
