I migrated three of my personal emails from name cheap email hosting to zoho and the spams i received went up by 20x. Out of curiosity, I went ahead and move one of them back to namecheap, I haven't received a single spam in the last week.

Is this something to do with spam filter?

I noticed this too, but it seems to have dropped off. In the month or so after I migrated from Google to Zoho I had a ton of spam, and was considering other options. But since then I haven't really gotten any more than I did with Google, maybe one obvious spam email every few weeks.

I would mark spam as spam during that initial period when there was a lot, so maybe there's just a learning process for new accounts as to what's actually spam?

Yes, that's my biggest problem with Zoho so far: Having a below-average quality spam filter sucks more than having a below-average quality anything else, since it makes the difference between receiving emails or not.

I'm not convinced there is any reason why it's bad. They could up their game here.
