The one gripe i have with GMail is the pulldown menu you have to use in order to delete emails. Should just be a simple link or button.

I have started redirecting all my spam from a 12 year old email address into my Gmail account to try to gauge how good their spam filtering is:

After two days: 87 caught, 11 slipped through to the inbox, with 1 legitimate email (from the costco mailing list). That’s roughly 87%.

The benchmark to strive for is 95%.

I haven’t tested this yet with Yahoo yet (my main email account), but I get so many nigerian millionaire scams, about 5 - 10 per day in my Yahoo inbox.
