You are correct. However, iluvcommunism is criticizing the fact that ProtonMail isn't improving on filtering out real spam. Getting duplicate spam, again and again, is a waste of time. I would look at the spam folder once a day instead of deleting n-numbers of spam mails in the inbox.
When I moved an old e-mail domain to ProtonMail, the number of spam e-mails hitting my inbox increased dramatically. So it's not even close to as good as its competitors in this regard.
I moved to Tutanota. I now get even more spam :(. Google, Zoho and Yandex handle spam better (IMHO).
Regarding ProtonMail, they will tell you something like this:
Moving the messages to spam will automatically add the address to your blacklist.
And as we all know, spam is always sent from the same address, right? The Blocklist is useless in this context. They just need to improve their spam filter. The rest is fine (IMHO).
- Avamander 5y ago> The Blocklist is useless in this context. All blocklists are useless in some contexts. There's not even a silver-ish bullet against spam. Sender blacklist however is one of the most effective ones, but at some point yeah you might have to create filters to match certain subjects and stuff. I guess ProtonMail could hire someone to just improve spam filtering, that'd be the only thing that'd rise the filtering quality really.
