There should be a spot where you can turn on a junk email filter so that these emails will be directly put into your trash on your email. This function might be turned off so look around on your email home page and you should see a button to turn this on. I find this very useful as spam emails are very common and frustrating to deal with.

press report spam on every email

Just hit the spam button on them and all the emails that come from that email address or website or whatever will automatically be sent to spam.

I know it is pretty annoying. I will explain to you why this happens. Whenever you register an email with any website, lets say facebook (I am giving you an example, they might not be doing this, but 90% of the websites do it) they will send you their notifications or emails. Have you ever read the user agreement which we click I agree to? I don't think so, no one does haha. Most site mentions that when you click I agree, you are also agreeing to allowing facebook sharing user information with its partner sites. That means if facebook has 300 partners, your email address is available to all the 300 websites. That means 300 websites are now being able to send you junk emails when you only registered for one of them.
My advice will be to keep two email ids. One which you use personally. Which you can keep junk free. Only give your email to trusted websites like facebook or youtube or wikipedia. Keep another one for registering on other websites like all those mp3 downloaders etc etc. Hope this helps.
I see that many of the people over here ask you to report those emails as spam. Most websites have ways to avoid those filters and that is not gonig to help a lot.
Hope this helps you.
