davec old hand Registered: 18/08/2000 Posts: 992 Loc: Georgetown, TX USA	Anyone ever not receive emails they know were sent to their gmail address? I've had two now that I know for sure were sent and not received. One was sent by me from a non-gmail account and another was someone I was conversing with thru email and it suddenly stopped. He said he had replied answering my question already... _________________________ Dave Clark Georgetown, Texas MK2A 42Gb - AnoFace - Smoke Lens - Dead Tuner - Sirius Radio on AUX

davec old hand Registered: 18/08/2000 Posts: 992 Loc: Georgetown, TX USA	Yeah I looked in the spam folder, nothing... I had received previous emails from that person, and it would have been a reply which would have fallen under the same "conversation" in the Gmail inbox that has 7 messages in it now... The other was a mesage from me to a mailing list, which I do have set to receive my own postings from,... Maybe they'll show up in 40 years like those old letters through the post office do sometimes... _________________________ Dave Clark Georgetown, Texas MK2A 42Gb - AnoFace - Smoke Lens - Dead Tuner - Sirius Radio on AUX

bonzi pooh-bah Registered: 13/09/1999 Posts: 2401 Loc: Croatia	Quote: I've heard reports of gmail's spam filters being overzealous. Slightly, perhaps 0.5% false-positive rate for me, and that for messages that do look somewhat like spam (mostly newsletters in HTML). Still, makes checking spam folder necessary. Then again, I am yet to see a spam filter where it is not. For example, well-trained K9 has perhaps 0.1% false-positive rate (which you pay for with at least 10% false-negative), and PopFile both in 1% range, in my experience. Depends on how consistent one's perception of spam is, too, of course. _________________________ Dragi "Bonzi" Raos Q#5196 MkII #080000376, 18GB green MkIIa #040103247, 60GB blue

You still have to plow through all your emails, except now it's a bit harder because you have to look through multiple folders.

You still have to plow through all your emails, except now it's a bit harder because you have to look through multiple folders. I don't know, you should be right, but I somehow feel this to be more convenient, especially with a line or so of the message displayed along with subject and sender, as Gmail does. Even with a 'normal' POP3 client (e.g. OE) and decent Bayesian (sp?) filter (I switched from POPFile to K9) it seems to me faster to glance once or twice a day at spam folder and, unless I spot something familiar, delete everything in one go than to delete messages from my inbox one by one. Besides, false-positives are never 'normal' textual messages that one cares for the most, but usually HTML-formatted newsletters (e.g. the one from Java Developer's Journal I found among spam another day) which will not be missed terribly if deleted by accident. _________________________ Dragi "Bonzi" Raos Q#5196 MkII #080000376, 18GB green MkIIa #040103247, 60GB blue
