Where I am
The sheer volume of junk/spam mail has seriously grown over the past year or so.

Curious, when you receive junk/spam emails in your Inbox, do you merely delete them, or move them to the junk/spam folder?
I do wish on iOS, that there was a swipe gesture to move items to the junk/spam folder.
 
I use the Outlook app, and it moves the emails to the Junk folder when I report them. There's a swipe gesture that will report the email as junk/phishing, add it to your block list, and move the email to the Junk folder. Doing the same gesture from the Junk folder does the opposite - reports the email as safe, adds it to your safe list, and moves the email to the Inbox folder. I think this may only work for Outlook and Exchange accounts though.

Hmm, I may have to adopt the approach of reporting/moving items to the junk folder, and leaving them in there for a while.

With my Outlook Dot Com email account, I use the Mail client on iOS. I use the Outlook app for work emails (separation and all that)...
 
I don't get many, although a few weeks ago I suddenly got quite a few - all very obviously junk.

On my laptop, I drag any to the Junk folder which didn't get sent there automatically, then highlight them all (in the Junk folder) and ⌥⌘⌫ which trashes them without going into the bin/trash. Be careful with that 😁
