Does that handle the huge torrent of ads well? Seemingly every website and brick and mortar I've shopped at ever sends me at least one email per day.

- Qem 5y agoA mail client with its local bayesian filtering works fine for me, given you take a little time to flag spam and tune the filter. I use Thunderbird.
- aaronax 5y agoYou can use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email. I have done this probably hundreds of times over the past 5 years and it has worked as expected with no undesirable side effects.
- pteraspidomorph 5y agoSpamassassin with a 7.5 threshold and other measures like DMARC checks has worked surprisingly well for me in recent years.
- mwint 5y agoThe unsubscribe buttons on those emails mostly work, by law. My life improved a lot when I started taking the ten seconds to unsubscribe from everything, vs. just deleting.
- Fogest 5y agoI often find myself constantly deleting/ignoring these emails instead of just hitting "unsubscribe". It's so weird how our human laziness works because I swear not many people unsubscribe from emails even though it is typically very easy. It is satisfying when I go in and unsubscribe to a bunch of junk.
- krageon 5y ago> The unsubscribe buttons on those emails mostly work, by law They won't for some arbitrary percentage of emails. And even then, they will keep coming from new places.
