To the right is a screenshot of one of my Gmail account.
Amazing, 580 inbox email, and 145,000+ SPAM ! 😀
This amount of spam was used to be handled by my server. Now it happily forward them to Gmail, which then will filter the spam with its powerful spam filter.
I remember when my customers are complaining about slow Internet access. My first question is whether they hosted their email servers internally. When they answered yes, I did a quick check, then asked them to either host the mailserver externally, or use Google Apps email service.
Usually they will instantly enjoy a significant speed boost to their Internet access.
There are simply too much spam nowadays for our puny bandwidth to handle. I know of big companies here in Indonesia with only 256 Kbps internet access, shared with their 300 employees (yay). And they’re paying US$ 1400 / month (you read it right) for that…
Thankfully, Gmail comes to the rescue.
Thank you Google !
rich man technology for poor people 😀
currently I also operate my corporate mail under free services of google… so I can pay my engineer a litle bit higher (due to the BBM issue)… hehehe…
It’s just the spam tho. What I concerned more is the bandwidth wasted with the forwarded email (send this to all of your friends), forwarded scam and loooong email with lots of previously written comment not erased (usually mailing list).
Good email habit is rare in Indonesian so-called digital people.
I dont think spam will ever stop, but a least its in your spam folder and not your inbox
spam ampe 146rebu??
ckckckc…
weladalah..
gugel emang manstab..
hi.. me PR3.. link me and buzz me.. i ll link u back.. i have one more site.. http://abisheks.blogspot.com.. please link this also..
wah, kang harry kolektor spam ya? ha3.
.
tapi sebenarnya ada yg aneh dg spam filtering di gmail… email saya yg di yahoo lbh byk terdaftar di website&milis2 tp spam yg masuk gak begitu banyak… ini gmail yg jarang dipakai malah spam yg diblok banyak banget… mungkinkah hny permainan google???
Ah, you can’t stop spammers. They will always exists ..
I agree 100% with you. I love gmail because of great spam protection and also the big space inbox.
Gmail has one of the best spam trapping algorithms. I also quite happily use Gmail. It rarely allows a spam to go to inbox.
I completely agree with everything that was written above. Up until 2 years ago I was still paying money to my ISP for email maintenance, but then I discovered Gmail, and it practically changed my life… I just clean the spam folder once a week, and life is so much simpler this way.
I dont get to gmail posts that i would like to have.
Gmails spam fighter is awesome. Though I wonder do gmail actuall takes care when I flag a message as spam.
I agree with you. Gmail does have a powerful fighter.
It’s a Nice article! I like very so much.

Absolutely agreed. I try to avoid using this for a long time.
Anyway. I still using it.
Normally I use outlook express instead.
Yeah, spammers will always exist. But gmail does his work really great!
Gmail spam filter is very good in its functioning. Spoof emails like hacking someone’s account, paypal’s duplicate mails, etc are collected under spam filter in my account. So, i’m easily able to check that which email is legal and which is not.
Nice Write… spam ==> go delete :):)
Gmail is the best free email service
good
I did not know that spam can slow your internet, I will definitely use Gmail. Thanks
It’s true, Gmail works awesomely well on getting rid of junk mail. Thumbs up! I get way less now than with any other service I’ve ever used: Still, it’s “castles and cannons”… like any other security system, sooner or later they’ll think of some way round it
Googlemail is pretty good at sorting the spam,and lets face it there is way to much spam coming into our inboxes these days. If I were to believe my spam I would be about the best socially connected person on the planet!
145,000 spam lol. You must really have been hitting the dodgy sites hard.

I agree with you. Gmail does have a powerful fighter.
Reading this has convinced me to move from hotmail to gmail. hotmail is not very good at protecting spam unfortunately.

GMail is my favourite too, will keep the mails filtered.

The spammers are impossible to be stopped. I believe this can be a good reason to install a good antispam software.

It is funny to look back at this 8 years later. I think that we are much better at catching spam these days. Back in 2008 i remember that i used to get a boatload of spam, but now not so much. The world is moving in the right direction! 🙂
