How do you handle junk email? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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?

Sure, not widely supported, but if you use clients supporting it, it is great. Blazingly fast, while IMAP is always slow.

Also, Thunderbird is working on JMAP support: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2025/09/state-of-the-thunder-mozilla-connect-updates/

Yes. I think several clients have open feature requests. The Stalwart documentation has a list of projects. There is one command line client as of now. But I'm not switching to a cli mail client or proprietary software, so I've postponed it. We'll see where this is going.

I welcome these modernization attempts. Though in theory I'd love to see someone revamp email in its entirety, add encryption, signatures, chat and crack down on spam and phishing. Not sure if that's ever going to happen, but that'd be great, too.

Ltt.rs works quite well on Android. Even without a client I'd be glad to have it already, I'm ready when Thunderbird is ready.
