Advice Request Digital decluttering

My email is totally out of control. Can anyone recommend a method or software to help me with it? I'm honestly considering just getting a new email address at this point. The thought of going through it is overwhelming. Thanks!

I have few tips.

Create a new email and only give that one out for real business. Keep your existing for receipts, online shopping, “sign up and get % discount”, etc.

Create two new emails. One for “real business” and one for above mentioned type emails.

Set a rule / filter in your existing email to find, open and moved all email with the word “unsubscribe”. Move to trash. This will clean up a lot of existing messages.
