I contacted the Gmail team thru this web form https://services.google.com/inquiry/gmail_bugs?referrer=bugflow upon an error I encountered with the filters. (Gmail gave me 'error code 600' when creating a filter with about 100 email addresses)
Their response was fast (this first response is probably automatic, with keyword matching) with an email suggesting couple FAQ links and a "Yes" or "No" answer link and the bottom to the question "Did this email resolve your issue?", so I clicked "No", because the suggested links they sent me didn't answer my problem.
When I clicked on the "No" link, it took me to a web page where I had to choose between:
Why didn't this suggestion work for you?
1--> It didn't address my issue.
2--> It addressed my issue, but didn't have all the information I needed.
3--> I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work.
Clicked #1, after 6 hours or so, I receive a reply from the Gmail team (not automated this time):
>> Hello,
>> Thanks for taking the time to contact us.
>> Please note that your filter is ineffective for multiple
>> 'From:' email addresses or names at once. You would
>> need to create a different filter for each person you
>> would like to filter emails for.
>> We'd like to know if you're still affected by this issue
>> (the error 600 you mentioned) – if so, please respond
>> to this message so that we can continue to look into it.
>> Sincerely,
>> The Google Team
Of course, I was very pleased to have a real Googler address with issues, so I emailed them back to thanked them for the help and also suggested couple enhancements. Their response again was:
>> Hello,
>> Thank you for your response.
>> While Gmail doesn't currently support the functionality
>> for more filters, we are testing many new features to
>> improve the Gmail service.
>> We are forwarding your feature request to the appropriate
>> team. We appreciate hearing from Gmail users, and value
>> all of the help you offer while we improve the Gmail experience.
...
They Followed their latest email with a last one 24 hours later or so stating:
>> Hi,
>> Can you help us improve Gmail support?
>> We welcome feedback about your recent experience
>> so that we can improve the way we serve you.
>> Share your thoughts by answering five quick questions
>> via the link below.
>> http://services.google.com/surveys/ts_gmail?t=65303863&k=tkXbRK..ZQKZU&b=1060
>> Your thoughts will help us to serve you better in the future.
>> Sincerely,
>> The Google Team
While I understand that other people did not experience a better Gmail support , overall I want to say that you could never have dreamed for a better support for a web based free product. Maybe Gmail is improving their support.
Gmail Rocks!
