Filters
You used to be able to "filter" emails straight from the body of the email. Now there's not an option for that. Instead you have to open the settings, create a filter, going back and forth to the actual message to create the filter. Bring back the option of "filter emails like this" in the body of the email.

I agree. What used to be 2 or three clicks is now - highlight, copy, 3 clicks, paste and then a couple more clicks. They should rip off Google Inbox and have a "Always do this" when you move an email.

#theworst Annnnd....all my filters I've been organizing for years have all disappeared. UGH!

I totally agree! It's so tedious trying to add new filters, plus there's a cumbersome list of filter priorities with only up/down arrows. Ugh!

Setting filters on the fly is a huge time saver and makes setting email functionality so much easier

The option "Filter email like this" was removed on each message. That's terrible. I need to filter each email I read. Now I MUST copy each criteria and come to setting->filter to paste and then come back....bla bla...It's terrible and bad process.

I just noticed this too! We need it back! Having the only options to go to the settings to create filters is cumbersome and too time consuming when I have been doing it with a one-click.

+1 on this. I use filters a lot.
Yahoo, just take all of the feedback items that reference filtering from the front-end, lump them together, and you easily have a new top 10 request. -

Agreed. Needs one-click user access frome the inbox and message level.

I need *one-click* access to the old "filter emails like this" feature at the message and inbox level

Loved being able to filter emails into a folder.
Hate that I can no longer do it quick and easy from an email.
Takes way too many steps to change a filter when a site changes their email name. Go back to having filters easy to create and easy to modify.
Quit making everything take 3-4 extra steps! -

Add a way to filter and send existing emails to folders. As well as improve the filter system to be a littler more user friendly to add email address' to the filters. Maybe include a "recommend email" feature when setting up the filter so you can add email address' without having to switch back and fourth between the inbox and the settings menu. Also include a way to setup a filter for an email from the emails "more" drop down menu so you can create filters and folders without having to go to the settings every time.

"Filter emails like this" option is missing. That is the much easier way of creating a filter. The new way is manual and is useless.

Make the Filter set up faster and easier like the OLD Classic. This 1 thing makes me want to go back to the classic. Updates are suppose to make things more efficient. This does not and Is no longer intuitive.

"Filter email like this" option is missing in new version. Now it is not possible to create filter from the message. Need to copy the matching criteria first and then go to filters and add new one. Terrible.

This is the only reason I want to revert to the old view. However unable to find any option for the same.
