[AT] OT - spam

[Bill Brueck]

FWIW, I have pretty much the same experience using Microsoft / Outlook as my mail service and mail client.  Deleted and Spam folders must be checked at least daily and usually have things I care about shoved onto them.  Many ATIS posts end up in either Deleted or Spam.

I find Gmail's handling of various emails incomprehensible.  I had to create a filter to keep many, but not all, of the emails from this group from going to Spam (Is this an indication of google's estimation of the value of our discussions?).  Partzpicker's post would have gone there, but Jim's didn't.  But I have had no success in getting Gmail to classify the Geico or CBD spam as such.  I have created filters that delete messages with these titles before I see them.  I do like it's putting some obvious spam in the spam folder, just not enough.

I do find that it puts too many things directly into Trash, particularly those with attachments like newsletters of which I get quite a few for posting on another website so I have to check my Trash at least once a day to retrieve these emails and others that end up there.

Coincidence?  Maybe!  The next email that I got after yours was from Geiko!

I mark at least one Geico email a day as spam in Gmail and like the proverbial bad penny, there it is again, and again and again and.....
Not in the spam folder.

Marking as spam doesn’t always work. You can report it as spam to gmail and gmail should block it from being sent to anybody.

OK, so I keep getting these spam emails from Mik at aol.com<mailto:Mik at aol.com>. I use Gmail as
my provider, and Thunderbird as my email program. I probably get 10-12
emails per day from this spammer. I tried to block it from both
Thunderbird and Gmail, with no success. Thunderbird marks it as junk but
i still have to manually delete it. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike M
