If these are from the Russian ladies looking for love they are a real pain as are my long lost African cousins who want to give me money. Mine did stop for a while after I removed my own email address from my safe senders list as most of these purported to come from my email address.
You can try using the block and filter facilities but they rarely make any difference as spammers usually disguise the sender's true address or rapidly change the address they csend them from- there are an infinite number of sender addresses they can generate.
The best way is to just ignore them (although I find some genuine emails go to spam occasionally so I have to check all before deleting for known senders) .... or just start using a new email address which you only give to trusted contacts
Tyrion's tip helped for me as some did appear to be coming from me
I agree. Two clicks to delete Spam is hardly an onerous task.
