    google spam filter is very effective it filters 99.9% of spam, but every now and then, it will filter some of the legitimate emails as spam, and hence everyday I checked through my 200 new spam mails to check whether there is any legitimate email

    Yeah, it's the same for me. I had to check through this avalanche in my spam folder to make sure there's nothing legitimate in there.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I was searching for some more information about my Gmail issue and I found this site..

    http://gmail-is-too-creepy.com/

    The site details how Google *never* deletes any gmail messages from it's system even if the user has deleted the email.

    No more Gmail for me. No way am I going to have my privacy invaded this way by Google. Shame on them.

    I setup a gmail account once and put the address on a few message boards.

    Now getting 4000+ emails per day.
    The spam filter only gets about 95%

    The spam filter has always been pretty effective for me, maybe within a few percent of 100. My only complaint is that sometimes it's too effective. I have a contact form on my website that is linked to Gmail and often the emails from it end up in the spam folder, so I have to sift through dozens of spam messages to make sure nothing legitimate gets lost.

    There are a lot of spammer that run software to guess email address and see what comes back as not valid they remove from their list and what goes through they keep spamming.
