Hey everyone! I've been overwhelmed with spam emails since late December. I've tried unsubscribing and marking them as spam, but every email comes from a different sender, so the spam just keeps pouring in. It's really cluttering my inbox and oddly, these emails keep popping up in my focused inbox too. I'm at a loss for how to manage this. I even tried to backtrack to see if I subscribed to something but couldn't find anything. Also, I wanted to share a picture of the emails, but I'm unable to do that. Most of the addresses look very similar with just different numbers, and they often have phrases like "final notice" or "your account will be deleted." Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I understand how overwhelming that can be! For the focused inbox issue, make sure to check your settings—sometimes spam emails can slip through. If all else fails, creating a secondary email for important communications can help filter out the spam too.
I totally get your frustration! It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of unwanted messages. Setting up inbox rules can be a game changer for you. And yes, definitely check for any breaches. If you're getting 20-40 spam emails a day, it may help to just delete them as soon as they show up. Don't hesitate to ask if you want examples of rules to set up!
First off, I’d recommend not clicking on "unsubscribe" links in those spam emails. That can actually confirm your email is valid to the spammer. Instead, you could check if your email address has been compromised in a data breach using a site like Have I Been Pwned? Also, if you’re using Outlook, you can set up inbox rules to automatically delete or move these emails as they come in. It might take a few rules since they're coming from different addresses, but it's definitely worth a shot!
