Sounds like you need to talk to your ISP about how those defaults can
be changed to be something more suitable for you.

Not true. At least, not entirely true.
If there's anything you want to allow through, then yes -- those have
to be clicked on.
Everything else could be left in the default "Defer" mode, and then
you simply click the check box at the top or bottom of the page which
says "Discard all mail marked 'Defer'", then hit the "Submit Your
Changes" button.

See above. All the stuff you want thrown away should be able to be
thrown away with just one and only one click.
You should only have to click on anything else if you want to reject
it, allow it through, or take some other less typical action.
