If you are referring to Gmail they have a spam filter, and you can also add a custom spam filter, maybe it requires a bit of reading but surely it'll improve your situation.

I wish google implemented more features to highly protect accounts so that nobody is able to just randomly send fraud emails to your account, it’s too many sites out that will allow anybody to view your information especially if they know a lil bit about you. I dnt have the time to sit up daily & spam anybody emails all day every since the pandemic I been dealing with fraudulent emails coming every day literally & some are sent to hack or try to hack your devices somthing need to be dne I took the extra steps with copying the emails & sent them off to sombody that’s checking things out up addresses & everything they go so far with things sent it’s ridiculous seriously.

IOT stop spam mail from being received is to either allow your e-mail provider to “smartly” discern it needs to be identified as such (if the feature be there) &/or create a filter for every piece of spam yi receive. The last 4+ iOS updates have claimed to include a stronger “smart” filter installed & unmodifiable within their e-mail app. I also recommend not allowing your spam folder to automatically empty aft a certain number of days, in the instance something important arrives & yi miss/lose an opportunity. I also recommend setting reminders every so oft to check your spam folder so that it doesn’t take up the allotted space & prevent further e-mails from being received.
