Excellent points. I have tried to address the following by having four email accounts. One provided by my employer, and what I call my "main account". Has to do with work-related things and I use fetchmail to fetch email. I have a second email address for mailing lists, that I never check or fetch from, but use to email to mailing lists (yes, this one). The third email address is for everybody else but family, and I use that for everything unrelated to work and family. I use fetchmail to fetch email, but do not bother with fetching spam. GMX.com has a helpful feature where they summarize all the headers of messages marked spam and email me everyday and I use that to unmark spam as needed. The last email address is for family and even messages to spam there are attempted to be fetched, but the email address is not given out, and stays within the family. Works for me.
