I’ve been using Thunderbird to sort out my junk email for a while, ever since I walked away from my Gmail account. Thunderbird does a great job, but it does mean it has to stay running somewhere.
However I’m currently in the process of moving and as a result I’ve had to shut down the system that that I had been running Thunderbird on. The result of which, obviously, is that my inbox is now being flooded with spam.
Since it’s been a while since I last looked at the problem, I figured I ask. How do you deal with spam email?
I use a email aliasing service that generates a unique email for each site that requires an email. If the people who have that email address don’t respect my wishes of not wanting marketing bullshit I simply disable the email alias. I unfortunately can’t make a recommendation as I use Proton’s SimpleLogin with a lifetime pass, and I don’t approve of that company anymore. Anyone else feel free to chime in though!
