How much trust do you put in gmail in getting this automatic
categorising correct?
With gmail I filter lists using the subject line when the list puts
something like "[list-name]" in the subject, or other header
data, but some list messages still show up in unexpected places.
I make filters for standard things (mailing lists, my service
providers, etc), but I hand sort everything else because I wouldn't
want important things misfiled. I don't even use spam filtering
because I know that makes mistakes (in both direction), and it always
will.
For my gmail (used mainly for list mails), the volume of spam is quite low.
I have an address on a "community network" that gets much more spam.
Firefox's trainable filter combined with the community network's filtering
works reasonably well for me.
