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.

    Spam is different than security. I found Gmail's spam filters to be very good and I've barely gotten any spam. Just flag all spam messages in Gmail. Future ones should be filtered out. Telus's spam filters would have operated in a similar manner. The more messages flagged as spam, the more the filters adapted to block them.

     

    Security wise, Gmail offers more ways to secure your mail account to prevent unauthorized access.

        Are you getting spam to your Inbox, or to your Spam folder? My way of thinking is that spam to the Spam folder is good, but spam to the Inbox is bad.
