Alternative to the spam folder for blocking spam gmails?

Instead of maintaining an ever growing spam folder, is there another way to deal with it?

How? I don't see that option. Supposedly, there's something under "more", but I don't see it?

Had you considered trying a search for such instructions?

You didn't even mention what client you're using to view your mail so no further info without further info.

By client, I'm not sure what your alluding to. The thread title includes "gmail".

You haven't acknowledged my post above.

Despite that, let's give you the long explanation.

I use gmail as one email account. I do not normally use a browser to access my gmail account.
I either use Poppeeper or Thunderbird (programs I have installed).

These are known as email clients i.e. programs that you run that can receive, send, display and store email - on your PC.
They log in for you.

I'm guessing you have to
- open a browser
- go to gmail
- log in
- then review your mail

and your mail is NOT stored on your PC.
