Or use e.g. Mozilla to read mail. The newer versions (1.3 and higher)
have a very effective spam filter, I used to get up to 100 of them per
day, now maybe 1 or so survives the filter, everything else is deflected
to a "Junk" folder with pretty much never a false positive. You need to
train it for a while (couple of 100 spams) though by telling it what is
spam and what isn't, before it gets really reliable.
