I am getting enormous amounts of e-mails from scammers - always different domains and keywords, common theme is malicious links and addressee: Examples: me@tartar.correct933.com me@mail.jokesws.net me@artyv3s.com me@snipmands.com me@buzzbox.stylionab.com me@ldap.adjustfast.net Subjects vary from gift cards to job offers.

Unfortunately, gmail spam filter is useless. I've already added hundreds of domains tremendously slowing down my e-mail. I can't create a general filter - as google thinks that "me" in the address means it should be placed in my inbox. It even started to delete all my messages after one of my filtering attempts. Google customer service is not responsive. I am thinking about migrating to another mail service, but maybe somebody could suggest something better? Thanks for your help.
