Feature Description

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for this wonderful piece of software and all the work that has gone into it.

Foreword

I have already come across the request #218, which would cover my topic, but has a slightly different focus with the filter extension.
That's why I created this request, but I fully understand if it should be closed as a duplicate.

Use case

I have 1-2 private mailboxes, but with several million emails from the past 20 years.
Now there are emails of which I have 40k+, where I want to say that they can all go.
Currently, however, I can only do this in 150 groups and have to work through them individually.
The fact that the filter page resets after each deletion in terms of selection mode and number of emails displayed is, of course, also suboptimal

Proposed Solution

In my case, it would be perfectly sufficient for me to have an option to delete all emails that match the filter with one job.

Therefore, my first thought at this point would be that instead of making major changes to the structure or behavior of the filter page, all that is needed is to enable another type of action that takes the filter currently in use, converts it into a job, and deletes all emails that match the filter in the background
