Head on over to theonion.com where Gmails ad campaign can be seen, with interactive ads like this one, reminiscent of ask.com's campaign 
aycu39.webshots.com/image/3415 ...
.
Other's such as "The average person spends 10.8 minutes a week deleting spam-10.8 dull minutes at that-try Gmail"
|
|
Does that mean the average person isn't using Gmail? Are we all above average then? :-)
|
|
How do they know the average?

On a side-note, I have this feeling that when you delete something without opening it, it also adds up as a "spam pattern". Because I get an email for every blog post Google publishes, and usually after checking the title I just delete it and/ or head over to the Google's Blogs page here. But after a while, all of a sudden all these messages were arriving in my spam folder. Weird... could be a coincidence though, and I'm not sure Gmail even has some "personal spam" setting (on a per user basis, that is, as opposes to requiring thresholds of say 10,000 times flagged-as-spam...).

150 is max – everything beyond that gets "Oh my, our spam calculator doesn't go that high"
|

Upper limit to of spam count to Chitu's link is 150, try giving a bigger number :)
I agree that spam filter of Gmail is very nice and very effective, but my main concern from ages is different
Why so much spam at the first place.
I had my domain on some server before moving to Google Apps.
There I had like 1-2 spam a day, but the day i moved to Google Apps, the count increased to say 10-20 a day. All these go into my spam box but why it started at all.
Is Google trying to fill in that box to show how effective they are?

![[put at-character here]](image/at.gif) Philipp I'm pretty sure there is a personal spam setting in Gmail as some of the news subscriptions I have on my other accounts which arrive in the Inbox are filtered out as spam in my most used account. So ...

It accepts decimal places. I lied, I have never received 3.14159265 spam emails, but apparently it would take me 15 seconds to delete 3 emails.

Wow, on a related topic, Gmail caught Google's Press Releases for Open Social and marked them as spam.
