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?

Like @merde@sh.itjust.works said, several accounts for a tech illiterate person is counter productive. Unsubscribe what you can unsubscribe and then filter rules on thunderbird like you proposed. That's how I do it with my elderly parents.
