I found out because a friend asked if I got her email and I found it in spam, along with a bunch of other items that were not only not spam but should have been marked as high priority.
I was kind of wondering why my email volume when down so much...
(I'm pretty sure that Google is just straight-out disposing of a lot of obvious spam. My spam folder used to be in the thousands, and there was zero realistic chance of finding anything mis-classified. I do occasionally discover things that are not technically spam, merely not interesting, and I politely mark them and unsubscribe.)
But, with my girl and with her outlook.com account created last November (2024) - without exception - every new email / unknown sender is pushed to spam folder. Unless the sender is manually marked as "no spam". We don't really know why..
- Tell me Why??? Ain't nothing 'bout spam filters
- Tell me Why??? Ain't nothing 'bout missed emails
- Tell me Why? I never thought, I'll have to care. That's just a nooo-gooo.
