@androcat@toot.cat @jasongorman@mastodon.cloud there's a third option, of course: drop Gmail. I find this whole spam thing interesting, as it was effectively solved decades ago by Jason Rennie and his "ifile" program. A simple Bayesian system that you trained by moving your mails around from folder to folder. It picked up on the patterns and presorted your mail with a surprisingly high degree of correctness. My current provider, startmail, is really bad at spam handling so suddenly somewhere on my to do list appeared "install MH and ifile". Back to the future :-)
