I stopped using ISPs for email purposes years ago due to limited email capacity, control, and functionality.

Suggestions:
1. Filter any email containing your first or last name to your inbox. Most people you would want to hear from will address you by one or both.
2. White list all domains you are registered or affiliated with.
3. Remember that you can filter "out" or "in".

Have you tried IMAP?

==== Spammer technology is way ahead of Verizon's methods of abatement...

Spam Detector screens for junk e-mail messages, also known as spam, and moves them into a separate Spam Detector folder, which can be accessed via E-Mail & More. Messages that have been sent to this folder will be retained for 7 calendar days*. However, you can immediately delete messages identified as spam by Spam Detector utilizing a new tool within E-Mail & More. To access this tool you must be in E-Mail & More and choose Options/Rules. When you are in the Rules tab the tool allows you to delete incoming spam or have it stored in the Spam Detector folder for 7 days.

E-Mail & More has many new features and some will help you control spam. For example, when viewing a message you can block the sender or domain with one simple click.

This practice differs from our standard policy of saving e-mail messages for 30-calendar days.
