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 SimpleLogin (owned by or partnered with Protonmail) to create a unique alias email for any service I sign up with. If one of those services starts spamming, I pause that alias. I also don't give out the email address I use to login to Proton.

    I know proton has a lot of issues as a company, but simple login is really nice. I thought they were just partnered, but maybe they own them
