Gmail Users Check Your Spam ASAP

I usually ignore that folder.

But my mom usually gets about 1500 emails a day and it's suddenly dropped to a trickle. She uses Thunderbird so she checked her online spam folder and all of her emails were in there.

I checked mine and sure enough there were about 10 emails from friends that got stuck in there. Emails from MR and SmashBoards were there. I only got 1 email this morning total. I usually get 12-15.

I don't know what's going on. Just a heads up. 😀

All I have in my spam folder is Spam.

Same here - only spam in the place where it says spam. No other messages in there by accident.

Yep. that happened to me too a few weeks ago. My girlfriend usually sends me several emails a day when we're not together, but one day there were zero messages. Turns out she sent 3 or 4 but they all ended up in the Gmail Junk folder. But it just happened that once and then everything was fine after that. I guess even God-like Google makes mistakes sometimes...

That's weird, I (thankfully) never get spam on my Gmail account.😎

I usually check my spam folder every few days -- typically I find nothing, but there were a couple legit emails in there today. Maybe Google's got a new spam algorithm.

 

[CalmEnvy]

Nothing in my spam folder, I haven't had much spam.

 

[McGiord]

I found 5 legit emails on my spam folder.

I also seem to have several legit emails in the spam folder today. That's not happened before. I wonder if they've changed the filtering software.

 

[skunk]

I don't get any spam at all, in any account. But thanks for the warning. 🙂

 

[geekgirl]

Weird. I just had a message pop into the spam folder that shouldn't have.

Thanks for the heads up, all mine in there is actual spam though.

Wow, add me to the list of thank-ers. Just found six false positives that went to the Spam folder since Wednesday. I hope Google's on top of this. I've gotten used to rarely checking the Spam folder because (until now) their spam filter has been so accurate.

I have around 603 spam emails since February 15th. That's around 20 per day. I simply do not have time to check it all. 😱
