@rot99Welcome

Please, when you refer to protection, do you mean Kaspersky monitoring your email and alerting you against possible account hacking or protection against receiving viruses/phishing and malware?

Well, let's get to the points:

It all depends on how you use email:

If it is through a browser, Kaspersky will protect you from downloading a malicious file or accessing a phishing address (this occurs through the safe browsing component).

Spoiler

If you use an email reading and sending program such as Mozilla Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook, in this case, Kaspersky offers protection against receiving viruses/spam/malware but through another component (in this case, Email Protection)

Spoiler

Now, if you mean account data leak or possible account hacking, it will inform you about any suspicious activity through the "Data Leak Checker" protection module.

Spoiler

Either way, you're pretty safe 👍

Regarding emails received, you may need to unsubscribe from receiving newsletters, in addition, you can also block them as spam through your email provider (this has nothing to do with Kaspersky).

Hello @rot99, 

Welcome!

*it always helps to tell the Community which e-mail service (you) use?*

1. Yes & no, email accessed via a web browser - for example: Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo - will not be filtered & or managed by Kaspersky's Mail Anti-Virus & OR Kaspersky's Mail Anti-Spam; however, Kaspersky Plus will provide overall protection - as will KSN, if you have that enabled.  
2. For web based mail accessed via a browser, make sure two-factor-authentication is enabled, build/configure/train the spam/phishing rules in the mail app, use a strong password & change it every 90days. 

Thank you🙏

Hello @rot99, 

Thank you for posting back & the extra question!

Kaspersky's Mail Anti-Spam only works for installed mail applications - not mail accessed via a web browser. 

Check in Start menu, depends on (your) Windows OS & build, in Windows Search, type Mail, that will start the Mail app - the spam filter will add to the emails, you will still need to build / configure rules to assist the tool: 

Thank you🙏

Hello @rot99, 

You're most welcome!

Thank you for posting back & the extra question!

1. It's not an irrelevant question, but it's not easy to answer, it's personal choice -> safety & security come from using best practice -> never open emails from unknown senders -> always view source & never click links or open attachments - in emails from unknown senders. 
2. Sometimes an email may arrive & the sender may look familiar - for example it may look like it's been sent by a family member - but - the spelling in the Subject line may appear strange, making you suspicious, that's when you must always be careful, it may be a fake email, always check the source, before opening the email.  

Thank you🙏
