Add an option to modify rule conditions, specifically the account scope, when creating a rule via the right-click context menu on senders or recipients in the email pane.
Current Behavior
When right-clicking on a sender or recipient in the email pane and selecting “Create rule from…”, the user is presented with a simplified/a-step-ahead rule creation dialog. However, this dialog does not provide an option to modify the “Select conditions for the rule” settings. As a result, the newly created rule is automatically applied to “All Accounts” by default.
To change the scope of the rule to a specific email account, the user must navigate to Menu > Rules, locate the newly created rule, and manually edit the “Scope” setting by adding a condition “processed with account” to the rule. I wish this was a single step.
Requested Enhancement
Please add an option in the right-click “Create rule from…” dialog to allow users to modify the rule conditions before finalizing the rule. Specifically, users should be able to adjust the “Processed with account” condition directly from this context menu workflow.

You can normally setup everything in the rule wizard to go to a specific email account without going back to Menu / Rules later. Not sure why you need to do that as an additional step.
Can you maybe screenshot what is missing in the new rule setup ?
Here is also the online new rule documentation with actions and exceptions which might help you setup the rule without the additional step.

You can already currently change / modify the rule “before you click finish” by either clicking the back button or clicking on the blue highlighted linked text. Can you not do that before finalising?

Suggest then a Sleekplan suggestion where others can then also vote for that.
