I recently dealt with a spam flood after someone hacked my Amazon account, and now I'm receiving around 80 spam emails daily. I'm looking to reduce this significantly by filtering out emails in Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish, which could potentially cut down about 40-50% of what lands in my inbox. My email provider is Comcast, and I'm unsure if this kind of filtering is possible. I tried setting up a filter rule with every letter of the alphabet, but I'm not sure how effective it will be. I'm particularly concerned about filtering languages like Chinese, since typing the word itself probably won't cover the entire language. Can anyone help me make my email management more efficient?

I heard there's an app that could help you, but it's specifically for Gmail users. If you switch providers and go with Gmail, you might have better options for filtering languages.
Once your email gets out there, dealing with spam can be tough. If it’s not a business email, consider creating a new Outlook account and moving over to that. It might save you some headaches in the long run!
I like that idea! Migrating to a new account might seem like a hassle now, but if the spam is overwhelming, it could be worth it. That way, you can start fresh without all the junk.
