My spam problem is out of control. Email is quickly becoming useless to me. I used to not care because it wasn't much effort to delete a few emails a day. Then it became 10 a day... then 20 and now I get about 50 spams a day. I've been losing real messages amongst the trash.

I'm frustrated and it has to stop. I don't want to change my email address because I've had it for 7 years and have given it to countless people. Any suggestions for something that really works?
