    Default Gmail & Spam

    I have had a lot of emails some from senders that I correspond with daily go into spam in recent times, has anyone experienced the same thing?

    DUNNO but on Yahoo if you right click on the E-Mail you can tag it as "Not Spam".

    Occasionally an email from a frequent or previous correspondent goes into junk mail on Outlook. When I find it, a right click allows me to declare it as "not junk" as well as allowing all emails from that sender to go straight to the Inbox.

    I just looked at my Gmail account and couldn't find either Spam or Junk.

    I t can be marked as not spam but first you must know it has gone to spam especially if it is from a sender who sends stuff to you every day. He was not aware I had not read it and I was unaware it had been sent. I must admit with GMAIL having been so good with filtering mail I am not in the habit of checking the spam folder and it is a behaviour that seems to have started happening very recently.

    I check the spam folder in gmail whenever I open the account, just in case. WRT the original issue, the domain that your sender operates through can be blacklisted if someone else on the domain is using it to send a lot of spam and this is reported by recipients of said spam.

    As suggested above, you can mark individual items in the spam folder as "Not Spam" to avoid material from that sender going to spam.

    Have been getting a fair sized push of spam from gmail, outlook, and hotmail accounts of late, but haven't experienced much from people who I am happy to communicate with in either Outlook or Gmail clients.

    Yeah, I almost never check spam, but then it happened...waiting on some emails, and there they are. To Gmails credit, it learns fast. Mark it as Not Spam and you maybe only have to do it once or twice more until it figures it out. It works the other way too. I kept getting emails from someone I didn't want to hear from, so I marked their messages as spam. Only had to do it 3 times and then I have no idea if they tried to contact me or not
