    I have the opposite problem ..


    Gmail keeps flagging my emails from my new friend in Nigeria ( a prince would you believe ) as spam !!


    If I lose the £3,000,000 he is bringing me as soon as i save up enough to pay his air fare have i any grounds to sue google for making me miss a vital email ????
  • Just had 1 today allegedly from Amazon saying someone has ordered a telly from my account. The fact they said Dear Customer and not Dear Mr Peter-the-piper and had an open link to click was enough to get me to delete it. Very real looking so could catch someone unawares.

    (ps I did go online to check though)
    Funnily enough the OH had one on a totally different account, same Dear Customer etc.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
