Stupid Gmail spam filter

Gmail has the worst spam filter ever. I didn’t realize that I was losing at least %10-20 of the mail I really want. I’m going to disable it shortly. It really has an atrocious false positive rate. Apologies to anyone who has sent me email in the past couple of months that I didn’t respond to. Even though I once flagged real estate spam from Patricia Lewis it doesn’t mean I never want to receive email from Mike Lewis(though there are plenty of separate reasons for that).

    You found a way to disable Gmail’s spam filtering?

    My stupid ISP just shut down its own email, news, and web hosting services in favor of Google’s services. “Google groups is good enough!” Very frustrating how crippled things are suddenly.
