wow. I am getting so sick of these spam mail... jeez

[Nghtmr9999]

My "spam" gmail account contains 221 spam messages. Mind you, Gmail cleans spam messages that are more than 30 days old.

...do the math

Edit: And even more in the inbox that didn't get flagged. Regardless, it also counts as spam.

The reason behind all this? The three guides I have posted on GameFAQS are getting mined by e-mail harvesters.

Actually Gmail does a really good job of removing SPAM. I rarely see any at all in my gmail boxes, VS hotmail... ugg. 79,000 unread messages in hotmail

it does on the few cases of spam I receive on my personal e-mail (about 1 every week). I think Gmail doesn't even try on my other account. It's all for spam anyway. Curse those Everquest II guides... >.<
