spam
It appears that SPAM works perfectly except when there is a filter applied. For example, a filter by recipient matches user2@example.com then move to folder user2. It would be nice to have the system SPAM process ahead of the filter process or even the option where the filter is applied before or after system SPAM process.

Are you saying that in the presence of any matching filter (regardless of what the filter actually does, not just 'move to', and also things like 'add label', add star, etc) the regular spam filtering is not working? It would be nice to get an official response from Protonmail here, as this is not my expected behaviour. Or at least a blog post explaining how to write filters in a way that will let the spam filter do its work properly...
Edit: anecdotal testing shows me that marking a message as spam manually (thereby moving it to the spam virtual folder) clears all labels. And labels are virtual folders (as seen in Thunderbird using Protonmail Bridge).
BUT labelling a message that is in the Spam virtual folder DOES work. So what's up with that?
If a message can be both in the spam virtual folder, and a label virtual folder at the same time, whether a message was labelled through a filter or not should have no impact whatsoever of whether spam filtering is done for that message, spam filtering should apply as usual. Are we going to need a 'also check for spam', like we have a 'also archive' checkbox in the filter UI? This is getting silly.

No, I don't want the spam system to happen before my label filters. I label things that I know I want to read and the spam filter is over enthusiastic as it is.

To further clarify, the system SPAM process works perfectly for a recipient NOT in a filter. For example, user@example.com is not part of any filter. System SPAM process works.
