I like my Email “Spam” folder. Do you?
I am using the Email for my day to day communication with the peers, colleagues, and others since the day I have joined the Department of Library and Information Science, Gauhati University as a BLISc student. I start with the days when I have to wait weeks sometimes even a month to have a single email to check. At present, I used to receive 40-50 emails daily excluding mails from the group or e-list I have subscribed to and the junk or spam Emails. I am using three Emial accounts to make my food cook i.e Google, Yahoo and Rediff. I will not make you feel bored by communicating my experience in using Email. I just wants to communicate the important facts I have noticed recently.
If you use Google accounts (I mean Gmail), probability is very few when the Email spam filter will direct your important mail to the “Spam” folder. However, it will be better if you have a monthly look at the subjects of the Spam Email in your email account and name of the sender. I am sure by this way you can recover at least a few important email from the hundreds of spam emails.
If you use Yahoo, be very cautious. My personal experience shows that Yahoo direct all important emails to the “Spam” folder. It is even become unbearable to have the replies of all email that I have posted to different online groups and E-list in the spam folder.
In case of Rediff, the situation is worst. You can only expect the spam email in your Inbox. Probably Rediff does not follow the concept of "Spam"!
So, in the coming days if someone claims that they have sent an email to your email address and you don’t receive it, just make a check in the “Spam” folder of the email account. I am sure, you will find it there.
There are also some sentences you should avoid in writing in an email. If such word are there in your email then the spam filter of many email service providers will direct the email to the spam folder of the recipient.

You are correct. I have also experienced the same story with Yahoo and Gmail. Besides, many junk mails are also coming to the inbox that I ignore like mails in the Spam. It is right that many important mails land in the spam.Sometimes it is very dangerous to respond to any unsolicited mail about which all should be very careful. There is no thumb rule for this but only experience can be your saviour.
