I get a couple a week, and today I got a couple false positives from my bank with my proof-of-payment for a new car (fairly important, basically). I've received hundreds of mails from that same address for many years, opened or forwarded each one, but today it's spam? That seems like a 2004 problem, not 2013.

Luckily I was expecting the mail, and there is a solution. I added a filter for that email address and say "don't mark these messages as spam". But "solved" would mean "spam doesn't exist anymore", in my book.

Nonetheless, I love Gmail and its spam filtering. I'm very happy to mark a few messages as spam for the greater good.
