It's easy to do that. Here's how:
1. In Gmail, go to Settings.
2. Under Filters and Blocked Addresses, click on "Add new filter."
3. In the To field, type "me" (without quotes).
4. Click on "Create filter with this search."
5. Select "Never send it to Spam."
6. Click on the "Create Filter" button to save and activate your new filter.
This will prevent almost all inbound mail to you from going to the spam folder. A few types of messages, mostly malformed ones, might slip through, but I'm OK with that.
This isn't something you'd want normally, but there are a number of use cases where this can come in handy, so I figured I would share it with all of you.
Note that any mail already in the spam folder is not going to magically get moved to the inbox. This only affects new mail as it comes in.
Al,
ReplyDeleteHow do you download the mail, and can you explain some of the use cases behind this tactic?
Thanks for any insight!
Fetchmail is the primary tool I use to download messages. Then what I do with them from there....I do not currently share today. :)
