If you're using a web-based service you'll have to consider changing your email address. You can then get mail from your old address automatically forwarded. That will initially include the spam but either the filters in your new system will be better at deleting it or you can simply wait until everyone knows your new address and then turn off the forwarding.
Remember that spammers often configure their software to guess at possible email addresses. For example, it's highly likely that they'll get some success in sending mail if they send it to [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc, etc. Quite a few of such 'guessed' addresses will actually exist. So you should ensure that your email address is 'unguessable'. (e.g. [email protected]).
If you want a new email address I can highly recommend GMX:

the best thing to do is get a domain name and an email package to go with it.
Dirt cheap, no concidence that my domain linked emails get hardly any spam compared to all my yahoo, google, outlook email addys.
Using google , yahoo etc is a waste of time because they are easy for the spammers...as youve found out
