Junk emails

I used to get around 30 junk emails a day so decided to block or unsubscribe (I'd never subscribed to them in the first place. Since then, I am now getting around 150 of the bloody things every day. For some reason, any new email from a new company I've used, automatically goes into my junk. So instead of just doing a blanket "empty junk folder" I have to scroll down through them to see that none of them are from companies I have dealt with.

Any idea how to stop this avalanche of rubbish?

Stop unsubscribing. Then you are letting spammers know that yours is a valid and active account.

Create a separate email address for buying stuff/signing up for anything to your personal emails.

Exactly what @loutypips has said. By unsubscribing, you are letting them know they have not spammed a dead email address.

Hello! I totally agree with you. Additional letters that you do not need, but only clog the mail. I also advise you to use the additional article on ad blockers that I use thinkmobiles.com/blog/best-adblockers/. One of my favorite options is uBlock Origin One, working on the following browsers: Chrome, Opera, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Safari (MacOS). Depending on the region, it automatically sets the necessary filters and allows the user to create a personal filter. It contains a large database of filters and offers many features. This does not violate the structure of the site after filtering and blocking. The uBlock Origin extension is able to remove contextual advertising (e.g. Google AdSense), banner ads (image, flash banner, animated GIF banner), analytics and metrics (e.g. Yandex metrics, Google analytics). It also helps network anonymity and prevents leakage of local IP addresses by disabling JavaScript. I hope this article helps you!

Is this hotmail? All from an appspot domain? If so, this is a known problem that people have been complaining about for months if not years and which hotmail has no interest in sorting out. The only solution seems to be a new email account.
