I agree with the article 100%. There are still emails you can't unsubscribe from and shouldn't report as spam or block, for example your monthly bank statement email. It's sad that you can't turn these off as the bank is required to send them. For these cases I do set a "send to trash" rule. If using iCloud, note that rules you set locally on your Mac only run if the Mac is on. To have them run on the server they need to be set on iCloud Mail online, which gives a very limited way to set rules but just barely good enough for these rare occasions.
