I assume gp is referencing the necessity of training the spam filter.
I didn't have big problems with it, except for a monthly student loan payment confirmation email that fastmail refused to classify as not spam no matter how many times I so marked it.
In general, I found gmail's spam filter to be the best. If, however, you don't need to regularly interact with lots of new email addresses, fastmail will work fine for you.
This is exactly it. I found myself having to manually classify spam/notspam for the first time in over a decade.
This might be fine for some or even most people but if like me you’d prefer to spend less time on email not more it may not be the best choice as an email provider.
Nothing against the service, just be prepared to manually train a spam filter
