When I distrust someone/place/thing I use my Yahoo mail account. Excellent spam filtering.
For my regular email accounts I use MS Outlook as my emailer with Optimum as my provider.
Neither Optimum nor Outlook are great at blocking spam or scams, but when I do have an obvious spam/scam message, and you can almost always tell, I login to my affected account via my browser and use the down arrow in the message to “block the sender’s domain,” then I select “block sender and mark as spam,” from the same list. Doesn’t work as well as Yahoo, and I imagine, Gmail, but it helps. I don’t trust gmail too much because it’s a Google product and notorious for tracking and selling your information.
Somethings you might want to remember:
1. You can usually tell if a message is fake by opening it (NOT ANY ATTACHMENTS OR LINKS,) and seeing what the real email address is.
2. NEVER EVER CLICK ON AN ATTACHMENT OR LINK FROM A SUSPICIOUS EMAIL!
A fake email address might look like this:
Chase@axqyewmyujkjk.pl.
Hope this is helpful to you all.

Maybe I over simplify. I don’t open email, unless I recognize the address. I also don’t delete it. The emails remain on the server. I just ignore them.
Since 1971, I’ve never been phished or “attacked”.
