Re: gmail spam

35 spam emails a day is quite low. Just set up some filters in your email client and you'll never see them again.

Re: gmail spam

Click the Spam button to mark unwanted emails as spam. Gmail will use this to decide whether future email are spam or not. It takes a few days for it to become efficient, but is automated after the training period.

Use Gmail as a spam filter (three ways)

Re: gmail spam

I'm not sure I see the problem, if they're in the Spam folder. Spam happens. Spam and Junk folders are designed to keep those out of the inbox.

This option is available at the top of the Spam folder list of mail

Quote:
Delete all spam messages now (messages that have been in Spam more than 30 days will be automatically deleted)
It could be that your email address has been harvested by spambots after being posted live somewhere.
