Community Power UserI just learned Telus is migrating webmail to Gmail!
I suspect this is related to email issues Telus had in August but that's speculation on my part. I was trying to modify my Junk mail settings for Webmail and can't seem to find the settings to change...
If these emails are showing up in your personal sent mail folder, then your computer or phone must have a virus. More likely the PC. Perhaps do a virus scan.
If you are receiving spam emails to your inbox you should drag them to the Spam folder. At least in theory, Google will add them to their spam filter list.
Happily, I'm not receiving spam in my inbox, but a couple of days every week I get a torrent of emails in my junk mailbox, sometimes five or six from a single source and dozens from others. Prior to this migration I'd never get more than one or two per day. Not a huge problem, but annoying and I'm curious as to why it's suddenly happening.

Every email provider has tools to deal with spam and malspam. How they work and are implemented will vary. This is most certainly the reason you are seeing the change in behavior.
IMO Telus was overly aggressive in blocking messages. I never receive NDR (non-delivery report) messages using Telus email. I have yet to be migrated but I'm hoping that Gmail will not block these as it's good to know if a message didn't get delivered.
- I hear you. Neither did I ever get notification of non-delivery from Telus. But it so infrequently happened I wasn't too bothered. On the other hand, this weekly flood of spam irritates me. I suppose even in this hi-tech world nirvana is still out of reach.
