This is how I maintain a spam-free inbox in Hushmail, and the only feature they have that keeps me there. I maintain a paid Protonmail account, but don't use it because I don't feel confident I can keep spam at bay. I have no interest in searching through a spam folder for something valuable that made it in there, it sort of defeats the purpose of that automated spam control... I still have to check it. With Hushmail's "@nym.hushmail.com" alias feature, I give many new services a unique email address. If I ever get spam, I can see which it was sent to, change my email with that provider(s) and make a new alias for them. No more spam. Hushmail is not as private or secure as Protonmail, but I find this system so valuable, I'm not willing to make Protonmail my new permanent email home yet. I sincerely hope this changes.
