Advice for Helping Older Person with Spam (midwest.social)

submitted 2 years ago by mossy_capivara@midwest.social to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I'm helping my older neighbor deal with tons of spam email that she's getting. For dealing with spam I thought about using thunderbird with with some extensions and making comprehensive filters. To reduce the volume in the future I thought about using deleteme and simplelogin so that her information doesn't continue to be spread.

Anyone have thoughts on the approach or maybe improvements that could be better?
