    Oh dear,

    got hundreds of spam in minutes and still coming in. Hope they will have it under control soon.

    Anyone else has this problem?

    First I thought it was from my website, since I forward to gmail, but when I checked I found that only gmail is targeted.

    104 so far today, since I cleared the spam about 2.5 hours ago.

    Most are either promises of how they can increase the size of Big Jim and the twins or how I can I watch others utilize their twig and berries.

    Gmail does a great job of filtering all the smut and pill poppers.

    I don't like knowing about the number of spam in my Spam folder because I feel compelled to check it. I wanted to know if there was a way to set Gmail to mark spam as read so I don't have to see (Spam (2)) or whatnot.

    And no, I didn't get spammed recently, but this one thing has been on my mind. :)

    gmail is one of the best for me in terms of stopping spam...i probably get between 50-100 spam emails/day in my spam folder, and maybe one letter a day of true spam makes it into my inbox. on the other hand, maybe one real letter per week gets misclassified into the spam box. but to answer the op's question, i haven't seen any recent increase in spam with my account.

    I got about 20-30 spam emails per day! Have no idea how to stop it, just delete the emails immediately.
