Or maybe someone really is reaching out to urgently tell me all about "legal boner tea."
Good job Google!
Vibe coding catching up on us all?
I figured it was some sort of glitch.
And a load of fake DMARC setup confirmation emails for a domain I own.
With that much data, even a simple Bayesian classifier should work pretty much perfectly.
They even mark their own Arts & Culture email as spam: https://x.com/MBanerjeePalmer/status/1962538753328664693
The only upside of having an actual mail server is the ability to say "this is incorrect, no one ever tried to send an email to this address/from this IP" or custom 55x messages.
The reason given is that "Gmail hasn't scanned this message", so I suppose the scanners are unavailable/disabled for the time being.
They should also be tagged as "Important" but they are not. I believe this is a heuristic-based designation, and it has not been working too great lately. My most important mail is coming through as "unimportant".
You could click "Seems Safe" on these messages, but they are not scanned by Google, and they are simply adding a disclaimer that they currently can't vouch for the safety of a message that they couldn't scan. It seems to me that this is a prudent and helpful course of action.
Ive since gone on an unsubscribe campaign, and things seem bearable now.
This never happened. It was a lie spread on Twitter. And now you are spreading it.
They’re the very obvious, very obnoxious kind of spam, and Gmail still correctly sends them to the junk bin, so I wonder if they were shadowbanned before and Google simply decided to make the process more explicit (which I don’t hate on principle).
Either that or my address was scrapped from somewhere by a spam bot and the timing is coincidental.
As with search, I don't get why people still use google.
FWIW, I am not seeing this. My Spam label contains just spam.
Finally, it would be good to know what you are observing. Are you seeing this as recipient or sender?
- Emails are being aggressively marked as “suspicious” out of the blue (USPS, HR emails, system emails, promotional emails)
- Those emails are being regularly delayed by 7-10 minutes.
- Priority inbox rules seem reset
- “Never mark as spam” rules are seemingly not respected

has never worked consistently. For literally 10+ years now, I've always had a few emails per day go into spam even though that rule is in place.
It's good to be you! My wife and I both have 3-letter first names so we never had that option, despite getting in on the Gmail beta 20+ years ago.
Its really slow. Too slow to use 2FA or in some cases, verify email addresses or recover passwords.
Most people can't handle a notification on their watch every minute, or several spam every five minutes, so "large numbers of people" are shutting off notifications on their phones. And human nature being what it is, they're not going to be turned back on again. So the era of getting a notification when you get an email is coming to a close. "Important Immediate Attention Stuff" moved to text messages a long time ago anyway, at least for me. The list of technologies you can no longer reach me on, always increases over time...
I had to make a bunch of filters on my side.
One more reason to migrate to Proton
It might be a new round of AI training featuring the labour of customers as free employees doing training. Every time we click, we consent to sharing private email data.
This is very easy and straightforward. I operate 6 Gmail accounts, and three are "alts" where I've basically never given the address out to anyone at all, and they receive zero spam, zero UCE, zero marketing emails.
Of course, on my "main" I've disclosed the address to many entities and I use it for sign-in and shipping and many things. And yes, I do receive spam and scam emails there, but wcyd?
After a few years of updating addresses that I’d missed whenever something showed up that was forwarded from my old gmail account, I shut down my old account.
No more spam, whenever I start receiving spam to a Hide My Email address, I deactivate it.
(I don't much care because the account was just used for interacting with somebody else's Google-hosted junk but, if I had been using it for something serious, I have probably been frustrated.)
Rarely does more than one per day show up in my main inbox.
Why should I care who has my email address?
I now never get good email in the spam folder, and never get undetected spam in the inbox, and very occasionally get a spam erroneously rescued, but still visually flagged as iffy-but-maybe-ham.
If Gmail has been lax at filtering spam lately, I haven’t noticed, but perhaps the Bayesian filter has been picking up the slack.
My email, over two decades+ (2004?), hasn't been in a many public leaks (only one on https://haveibeenpwned.com/ ) but obviously has made its way to various spammy actors but thankfully nearly everything is caught by GMail's spam filter.
If anything I'd say GMail's spam filter works too well: I get more legit emails in my spam folder than spam in my regular inbox. As in: one in a rare while vs about zero spam in my regular inbox.
Only answer numbers you recognize, everyone else gets voicemail.
Cell phone spam is a 10 year+ old memory for me.
Phishing is tricker because it can be very deceptive especially if you're being targeted specifically. But also usually pretty obvious.
