I suppose you'll need to be more careful how you use your email address. Don't give it to everyone, and don't use it to register for any newsletters, or whatever sites asking for an email address.

Once the damage is done, you can use Junk Mail Controls. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls

I have 3 mails one personal one for my work and one for the charity I run so its difficult not to have them go where I dont have control. I changed the junk settings and I hope that helps. Thanks for the link
