I use my main email account & hardly ever use a throw-away account. It may be hard for some to believe, but I dont have a spam problem.
Tbird can handle several different (pop) email accounts.
Spam that gets through goes to my junk folder. I then verify and forward to my isp provider & spam@uce.gov (I set up a mail list and forward the spam as attachments, whole process literally takes less than 5 seconds). My isp provider blocks the spammer and Im not sure what the dickens the government site does.

To deal with the large amount of unsolicited email ("spam" or "junk mail") that most people have to cope with, Thunderbird uses an adaptive filter that learns from your actions which messages are legitimate and which are junk.
Ive recently notice more spam coming through...about 2 per day vs 1-2 every 4-5 days.
My initial filters are:
Filter for Contacts
1. Match any of the following-
2. From is in my "Personal Address Book"
3. From is in my "Collected Address Book"
4. From is in my "Business Address Book"
5. Set status to - as not junk
6. Move message to local in-box
Filter for Unknown Sender-
1. Match any of the following-
2. From isnt in my "Personal Address Book"
3. From isnt in my "Collected Address Book"
4. From isnt in my "Business Address Book"
5. If "Subject" contains - porn, XXX, viagra, free, sex, insurance, diploma....
5. Perform These Actions-
6. Set status to - junk
7. Move message to junk folder. (I check the folder before reporting and deleting)
I also have other filters for specific items such as forwarding copies of statements or social events to my wife.
If you try Tbird you will have a learning curve and it will take a short time for its heuristics to adapt. Any mail that comes in you have to specify if it's "not junk" or is "junk". I would collect and specify weekly in batches - simple as a right click.
