How secure is gmail?
Why the sudden increase in tagged spam since the migration to gmail suite? 22 spam in a month, previously 0 in years.
Same here. Not a single spam mail when I was with Shaw in years.
jackrabbit000 Annoyed about this gmail also. But if you go settings in gmail and find (LABELS) used to be folders you can show them or hide them. I hid everything i don't want. Spam mail is still there in case you want to check once in a while for a missed email. Spam deletes at 30 days. I narrowed the labels to basic only not so cluttered anymore. Remember if you delete the mail in ALL MAIL you delete all mail in the gmail account. That is why i hide that label. Polecat
At least in theory if you click on an email in your inbox that you think is spam and drag it to the spam folder Google is supposed to look at it and if they agree they add it to their spam filter. The other way is to create rules to filter your email based on details you specify. You can have stuff go straight to trash if you wish.
WestCoasterBC I am not good at doing this. Do you have to do each spam seperately. I know i will not get right.
Create a spam filter if always using "offerpartners" and send it straight to the trash. I've noticed more spam making it through since switched over as well.
I too have had a huge increase in spam in the telus webmail and some making it through to my Outlook. Most are coming from something called "offerpartners" which spits out crap for all sorts of retailers like shoppers drug mart,walmart etc.
Started about a week or so ago (over 20 since yesterday alone). Before that I got very few spams in my Telus mail over the years.
My migration day isn't til Sept 29th, hopefully that will fix the issue.

I’m happy to learn I’m not the only one experiencing increased spam before migration. Hoping it will addressed soon. - I've noticed this well and migration is not booked until Sep 29 my only explanation Telus has disabled their spam filters as a result of the transition.
Thanks polecat, I'll check it out.
