I get nearly all spam, do not use an external filter yet.
My ISP offers free spam filtering, so I use this. It stops the
download of 60% to 70%.
I use internal mail filters along these lines:
Not using Selective Download. Sequence of filters is important:

As you can see, the idea is to first pick out the mail that you want
to put in separate folders. Had to add a filter for emails "sent by
me" and put them in a separate folder to glance at and trash, because
spammers are now spoofing my address as sender.
Then finally you trash the emails that are not addressed to you - they
are addressed to you in an outer layer, which is dicarded before you
see them; inside they appear with different addressees.
The rubbish is left in the Inbox and in From PB folders. Here you set
the sort order by Subject for a quick glance at everything.
Will be intereted in the replies you get for other solutions. The
spammers are very quick to find a new address. I changed the disposable address
on a web site, and got spam a few days later.
