Gmail spam mail. What should I do?

I am getting around 5-15 spam mails in my gmail spam box. Google is smart enough to filter spam mails with inbox mails, but I want google not to put them in even any folder.

how is can be done?

Thanks in advance.

 

No algothirm can tell whether an email is a spam or not with 100% accuracy
What if your girlfriends email are flagged by google as spam ?

 

Lol, I think, I'll be more happy then after receiving it. If my wife heard, my GF has sent me mail, then......me and my wife hanged till death (HHHEEELLLPPP........)

Just joking...

I think you are right, Is there any way to stop mails coming from specific email id?

 

Hi,

I know how you feel since I had the same problem. I highly recommend you to download Thunderbird. It's an amazing piece of software.

I own several e-mail accounts and I only get 1-2 spam e-mails/month.

 

Thanks for suggestion. This is your very first post and you start helping. Great gesture. You are welcome to great dp community. Enjoy stay here.

 

Not just Thunderbird, but any good software of that kind with appropriate filters and adjustments will wipe out the majority of spam letters.

 

you can't stop people from sending you mail, but you can use gmail filter to automatically trash email from specific id, or contain specific word on the subject or body etc. basically, play with your filtering rule

 

just create a filter

 

rrr, isn't that what i said?

 

Report the spam and you won't receive it again.

 

It is an option but, will not solve the problem completely. There is no end to junk mails and spammers. They have no life!

 

I think you need to just accept that there's always going to be some spam that gets to you. The GMail spam filter gets 95%-100% of it, so that's pretty good already.

 

YEAH, Thanks to everyone. I am working around software.

 

I know,but what else can we do?
Delete Gmail account?

 

Anyway Gmail is much more better than any other mail I've used before. And it's spam filters are very good too - I received a weird amount of spammy messages on yahoo, despite of the fact that it was a very private address distributed among tight circle of people. Yahoo is older, so I think spammers had enough time to guess how to retreive their databases, or as it happens in many time they send mail alphabetically, using all names and words that are more likely to be chosen as nicknames. I think in a year or two they will find keys to Google's mailing service too... unfortunately.

 

Anyone know a free spam filter that i can use with outlook express??

 

I think that would be the #1 mail service available
