This is the exact reason I keep my hotmail account. Which now seems to get me this 'you still you thhhhhhaaaat?'. 'would it make you feel better if I gave you an outlook one or a gmail?'
They filter like 99.99% of the junk. Usually 200-1000 a week (had a low of 20 a few weeks ago). They even show me what they are filtering. That is just 1 account. I have toyed with the idea of setting up my own domain and having my family have all their own emails. But that would mean managing it. Not terribly hard but just one more thing I do not want to mess with. 30 years ago I would have done it. Now I would rather it 'just work'.
Managing spam is a pain. I have been using the 'unsubscribe' links recently. You say then you are just verifying it is real. Well yeah, not like they are going to stop anyway. Worth a shot, but many times they actually respect it, unlike 15 years ago.
