Description

Feature Request

As a user I want to be able to create a new filter rule based on a received message. This would show me the filter settings of a new rule with the sender address of that selected email. The rest of the filter inputs have to be filled by the user.

This should only be shown if filtering is supported by the server and the user configured it.

Summary

Create a shortcut for a partly prefilled filter rule.

Requires https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/issues/44

Research direction

Start by reading issue #44 and tracing where a received message exposes actions and where filter settings are opened. Implement the shortcut only when server-side filtering is supported and configured, prefill the sender address, and leave the remaining inputs for the user. Done means the new rule view is reachable from a message and behaves as described.
