I don't think this is the reason.

Most of the spam blockers block emails from their content, not the mail adress.

of course they have the best spam filter.

They have a really huge database that helps them know what is spam and what isn't. Most spammers send million copies of their spam, and hundrends of thousands land to google's mail servers Smiley

The bad thing is that google is now "monitoring" too much private data, and I am afraid that this is not so good in the end....

I don't think that the privacy law will give enough room to do something with this data

Who sais that?

I remember back in 90s the US goverment almost shutted down doubleclick because they used cookies to log the consumer habbits. Now google does exactly that, plus they have the biggest search engine of the world to do it even better and none complains Wink

Isn't that strange? And if you want to take it further, isn't it strange that google had no income untill the 4th year of existance?

Off topic: maybe it's time to post a blog about a google conspiracy theory. That would be a great linkbait Smiley

Sure they use your content to show related ads/links but I think each user has accepted that during sign-up Smiley

People pay a lot of money for the statistical information G is getting for free. Between the regular search, custom searches and all the email content they have tons of material to use to develop their marketing strategies, influence Adwords and whatever else they have in mind (like buying another dot com somewhere). Would it really be covered by privacy laws - 10 million people today sent emails about xyz topic, 2.5 million about abc, and 500k about mnop?

That said, I have used Yahoo's email for over 10 years.

Whenever someone runs the equipment that your email is housed on, at minimum they have access to the subject line of every message - it's been that way since back in the dark ages of mainframe email. I don't doubt for a minute that neither Yahoo or Google are purely altruistic in their free email offerings. And I have no doubt it's a profit center for them both, beyond the advertising displayed.

The vast difference between Yahoo and G is that Y has never tried to control the Internet like G has.

Me and a friend are having more spam inside the gmail inbox since the last 4-6 weeks, how about you?

I haven't seen any increase in my spam emails over that time period. I don't use my gmail account much so I guess my address is not stored on some person's server for harvesting.

This is normal course of internet. Their subject disclosed everything and just one click and deleted. I am using rediffmail.com and quiet satisfy with them. May be because they are not famous like Gmail or Yahoo.com
