I've given up trying to filter spam because it's impossible to do regardless of which email service you use. I check my spam folder every time I check my inbox because that's the only way to be sure that we are getting all our emails and if I see emails I don't like I just delete them instead of marking them as spam.
well my method works pretty well, I set it up on my wife's account and her spam mail to inbox went from about 100 per day to 2 or 3 per week.
mark as spam and mark as not spam does not do anything as far as my testing has shown.
I can't create filters because I'm using only my smartphone.
you do it in the webmail interface, so mail is filtered before your phone checks it.
Yes I know that but the webmail interface is too hard to use on my phone because it's too small on the screen and I haven't used my PC or my laptop in years because I'm so used to my phone now plus I find it much easier to just keep checking my spam folder. I also created a second email address and I don't get any spam at all using that email address.
