Hi all,

I’ve been reading through the posts here and appreciate the many helpful tips so many folks have provided. I did a bunch of searches but didn’t see my question asked. I am debating switching my email from FastMail, which I’ve been with for 9 or 10 years, to ProtonMail for better email security. I have a Proton Unlimited account.

With Fastmail I use A LOT of aliases with my own domain. Each time I sign up at a website I use a different alias, and I’ve been doing this for years. This way I can see which site was compromised (or which site sold my data) whenever I start getting spam at an existing alias. FM does a really nice job filtering out spam, including spam to all of those aliases, and it was the main reason I switched to their service from GMail ages ago. For those of have used FM in the past, how do their default spam filters compare with ProtonMail spam filters? Did you have to do a lot of editing of seive filters to get approximately the same spam filtering results?

Thanks!
