Gmail e-mail spam-filters are trigger-happy?
Usually I get around 200 spam messages a day to my gmail account. Once every 2-3 days I go over them, and usually I find one or two real messages that gmail mistakenly marked as spam.
Today I went over about 500 spam messages, and found over 20 (!) real ones in there. Including e-mails from LinkedIn, Facebook, Yahoo and others. Very strange. I guess Google are tweaking the spam-filter, and they’re not going too good a job – I prefer spam messages in the my inbox than real messages in the spam folder! Some of these were really important.
If you’re using Gmail, I advise you to go over the spam folder… you might find interesting stuff in there
