Ray, I think you need to investigate why your emails are ending up flagged as Spam.
Unless the content of your emails was spam-like, perhaps there is something non-kosher going on in the headers, that is causing them to be flagged as suspicious. Maybe things are not configured correctly in the system from which you have been sending those emails. Gmail also gives you a clue when you open a message in Spam, why it went there. Your message implies that adding people to your Gmail address book is the only way to have them not go to Spam. That is of course not true. And it is not why your emails ended up in Spam. Remember that Gmail's spam filtering is a learning filter. If at some point you marked some of your own emails as spam, it will remember that, and try to do the same in the future. Likewise, by marking them as "not spam", you help train your spam filter to not put them there. Filters can be used to keep all your own emails out of Spam. Filter on "from" and your other email address, and then click the "Never send to Spam" button. I do agree that you should have been periodically checking your own archive account ... just like anyone running a backup process needs to occasionally check that the process is running and that the backups are usable.
