Talking about deliverability, I've got a gmail contact whom I've been mailing for 10+ years, almost daily using my gmail account. One day that person mistakenly marked a single email as spam (instead of clicking delete). From then on, all my future emails to that person started going to spam for a month before we realized what was happening.

Spam filters are so aggressive & dumb that they can't filter out a false spam report. Moreover, if I've explicitly added a contact to my address book & that contact has done the same for me, and we've been mailing for 10+ years, almost daily, often multiple times a day, then it's really annoying & unexpected for our email to end up in spam.

Hate spammers who've made a simple communication so complex for everyone.
