I thought gmail did aggressive spam filtering for you. Is there not some place where they hold (for 1 day/week/?) it for you to review what they marked as spam? > > How about the rest of you? I get a few ~(10 +/- 10) a day. T'bird marks things for me (with maybe about 90% success and tiny amount of false positives) but I read every sender/subject before disposing of those marked. I _think_ the training amounts to me unmarking false positives and specifically marking missed spam -- which is pretty painless effort on my part.
