It’s interesting - my gmail spambox is mostly accurate, but I get actual important emails there a few times a month. I’ve received real emails from my bank there before! I’ve received emails from Google services there before!!

On the other hand, I frequently get obvious spam emails in my inbox, including from one address that I weekly received a spam email. It was a very obvious email (“increase the size of your member with this one quick trick”), and each time I would mark it as spam, but Gmail never realized that that address was spam. I eventually just had to create my own filter.

I’m not sure what’s up with it, but they need to rethink their approach.
