Gmail = Increase of spam????

    I am wondering whether there is an overall increase of spam in gmail. Yesterday I must have had about 50 spam messages when normally it is around 2 or 3 a day.

    Its not GMail's fault. Its just that SPAM Bots got hold of your email. I haven't received a single spam email since yesterday. I get about 5-10 a week.

    Nope, I am not experiencing that. I guess it does not affect everyone.

    I haven't experienced a jump in spam to my Gmail account. I get 1 a day, if that.

    I have in my Gmail about 400-600 spam emails all the time, they are deleting automaticly after 30 days - this means about 15-20 spam emails daily.

    I do that too, and most spam goes straight to my spam folder.

    I have email accounts with gmail, yahoo and aol.

    Aol is by far the worst

    my gmail isn't too bad, one or two a day and 95% of those go to my spam folder

    Everything is normal for me. Anyway, I have added anti-spam filter and so far it works well.

    Yes there is alot of spam but it goes directly into the spam folder in both yahoo and gmail. Hotmail sucks big time, 90% of the mail i get in my hotmail box is spam. I dont even check it anymore.

    Yes, I am also seeing slight increase of spam in inbox, although I receive around 100+ spam in spam box.

    I get the usual amount daily (30-50 emails daily), but more and more obviously spammy email creep into my inbox.
