I hear you. The problem with spam is that the current infrastrucutre allows anyone to distribute spam on a massive level and forces online apps to use expensive third party services to deliver their newsletters to inbox. For a regular end user on Gmail the problem is hidden but not solved. When you have spam, you need spam filters. Spammers get better, you must catch up...

We want to solve that by replacing mail as you know it now. It's a long way ahead but we're on it.

But then you're not solving end users' problems, but Google's; and who's going to pay you to do that...?
Yes, it's not our main focus right now. We have planned this for later next year. It's not just the Google - everyone who runs online app or shop needs to get to you with order information, registration confirmation, invoice... If it's a pain to get into your inbox for them, it's a pain for you too not getting what you want. We will make it impossible to send out and receive spam using our infrastructure.
