I have used GMail since the week it was rolled out. I have never had anything in my spam folder. Well, not on a regular basis, anyway. For the past year it seems I've had two or three spam messages every day. I wonder why? Probably a policy change?
I know I could have accidentally gotten on a list one time somewhere, but doesn't GMail ever just start zapping these spam messages and not even put them in a spam folder at some point?
BTW I LOVE GMail.
Have you recently gone to a smart phone
Most everything on your smartphone is linked thru Google and your GMail ID info
😉
Huh, yes, about a year ago...hmmmm....
I haven't noticed any spam through gmail. I also have google voice phone, love it. I am holding up the number fingers indicating the number of spam calls that have made it through and rang my phone via google voice.
Are you flipping me off? 🙂
I use GV for my voice mail. I love the transcribe and text you the message feature, some of them are hilarious.
Darn it, caught again! 😛
Yes, some of those transcriptions are great!
From time to time I look at my spam folder for the voice and man, some of those "people" are persistent, yet not one has made it through.
I get close to 500 spam messages per day on my gmail account. I look through them every other day and will sometimes find one or two legitimate messages in the spam folder.
It appears to me that when you click the 'Not Spam' button, gmail gets smarter about it. So I think it is worth looking through the mess to train google. By the same token, I always flag email as spam (if it is) in an effort to train google's blacklist.
I too have had gmail, and a gvoice number since day 1 and I am not sure I could live without it.
Well, actually when I am traveling in China I can't log in to Gmail via the web, or download email in outlook. (But mail still shows up on my phone via WiFi for some reason.) So I guess I can live without it. But only for two weeks at a time.
While I am praising google services, I can't say enough good things about gdrive.

I too try to "train" my Gmail. I think I've only ever seen a couple legits in the spam folder.
My genius son Daniel, who now works for a different dealer, said that if you use a . in your email address, google basically ignores it.
So if you are entering your email address in a form that you suspect might lead to spam, put the dot somewhere that you normally do not or add one if your email address doesn't have one.
Then if you get email with that bastard dot in it, you'll know who the source of spamming your email address is.
