Re: G-ingle mail!
I've been using Gmail for over two years now and have only received two spam messages in my actual inbox that I can remember. All the rest have been filtered to the spam box. I have always received my messages to the best of my knowledge. I've heard some of the most ridiculous excuses for not using Gmail, I just shake my head and move on. |

Gmail is intuitive. If you do get spam, you mark it as spam, Gmail looks at it, if it is, the whole Gmail system blocks it. The more spam reports the better Gmail gets.
Gmail will only get better. It automatically, from my understanding, cleans email for viruses, etc. |

LOL. Yes, Gmail is pretty good. The catch rate is incredible. My guess is that it uses some sort of trusted senders list.
Perhaps when you send out e-mail from Gmail it adds that particular address to a trusted users list which then is able to bypass much of their filtering. The filtering they do must be immense, especially with how much space we are given on there.
Most of the e-mail going into the address I have is spam. Although I've signed up for so much on the net using that particular address.
Heck, I never even used my earthlink account due to their filtering process. When I first got my address it was maybe a year after they started their trusted senders white list deal. Where you had to insert the address into your book in order to recieve mail from that person/company. Regardless though I still receive weekly reports of what is in my box. |
