Being able to save all my mail at Gmail allows me to compile the following statistics. I get about 6000 messages/month which is about 200/day. about 5300 of which was spam, 600+ not. so about 90% of my mail is spam. They really need to improve their spam filter. It's almost the worst i've seen of real solutions. I have been training the spam filter for the full month that i've used it and it's gotten better. It catches probably %60-70, but that's still way worse than any of my other solutions. My well trained bogofilter catches at least %85+. With all the brainpower that google has you'd think they could do better. I'm not impressed with that. But everything else about gmail is great.

I accounted wrong. I get about 75-100 more spams per day than I thought. So more like 95% spam and 10000 messages/month.
