Gmail: welcome my first spam!
I always wonder when Google and/or G-society claim Gmail is advanced in spam protection. Normally, Gmail will sort out most (or probably ’some’) of spam mails into spam box. As I remember some of Google’s executive said: some of spam may be useful for user so they will not automatically delete it. Then Gmail will keep them in spam box. I heritage to believe if spam is useful for me in some degree. Most of them is repeatly some kind of advertisement e.g. Viagra, online gambling, cheap OEM. But I don’t believe if I need Viagra in my age (my device still working great!!). Or gambling is remarkably not my way. And.. spam is always defined as ’spam’.
One hour ago, I just open new Gmail account, instead of using the two year old account (it’s already fruity for spam). Just half hour after new account is registered I got first spam. Normally, Windows Live Mail don’t give me spam like this, except when day testing vary spam filter method (that is acceptable).
I will keep track on this new Gmail account, how much spam come to me even this email account still unkown.
