I really like a lot of Google’s tools. I’ve been converted to Gmail for well over a year now and really have good things to say about it. But I noticed, quite on accident last week, that some e-mails that weren’t spam found their way to my spam folder. I always delete all spam messages on a regular basis and I’ve been doing it without looking for a long time. But after seeing a few that shouldn’t have been there pop up I’ve been double checking my spam folder and continually finding a few that shouldn’t be there. What’s really weird is that some are from the same source like my voicemail service - two messages on the same day and one went to the spam folder and one went to my inbox. But I had been under the assumption that once an e-mail address had been responded to by you and/or was in your contact list it wouldn’t go to spam, yet I found a few of those that were there too. This morning I also noticed that one that I marked as not spam several times kept going back to spam until it finally stuck on the 4th or 5th attempt.

It could be a simple glitch as they test some new configurations or a million other things, but if I’ve missed responding to an e-mail lately it might be because it snuck into my spam folder and I didn’t see it. And if you use Gmail you might want to double check. I told my hubby and he checked his last night and found one or two that shouldn’t have been there too. So it’s worth a double check if you use Google. ;o)
