Google's spam algorithms are truly awful. I've had this problem on the receiving end for years. Reporting legitimate email as "Report not spam" does nothing except move the email out of the spam box. I find myself whitelisting legitimate emails over and over and over again, some of them verbatim copies of previously whitelisted emails (ie, "Your backup is completed" emails).
Google thinks its algorithms are better than me at detecting false positives on my own email account, and this is enragingly false.
Now, I periodically check all my spam to catch all the false positives. I used to get extremely pissed about this, but nowadays I just allocate time every day to the task, admitting defeat.
The Google spam algorithm simply has a mind of its own, it will not listen to suggestions.
I guess my replying here is aimed at letting you know you are not alone in your frustration.
