OK, that's fair. If I stuck a finger in the air and guesstimated, I'd say about 95% of my email is filtered, and I generally tick this box in all my filters, so I suspect that most things that go into folders -- I have over 100 now, I think -- don't go to spam. In 16Y on Gmail, I've had one significant false-positive that I recall -- the editor at Linux Weekly News was trying to contact me and consistently it got filed as spam. That's all I can remember. A few a month _don't_ get filed as spam, if that. So, yes, it's a problem, but for me, a small one, and all spam filters have it. > If you send an email from an old or incorrectly configured mail server to > someone in gmail who does not have a filter ready to receive your message it > will end up in spam and they won't get it unless they check their spam > folder.
