- ma2rten 7y agoThey also read emails to index them for search.
- JetSpiegel 7y agoEven though email search can't find anything. Ridiculous coming from Google.
- raverbashing 7y agoReally? I don't have a problem usually with gmail
- reaperducer 7y agoI support the parent's comment. I've had e-mail messages open in the GMail web interface that when I search for the words I can actually see on my screen come up with nothing.
- SquareWheel 7y agoAh, I misinterpreted this comment. At first I thought you meant "Search" as in the product. Of course you actually just meant searching your Gmail. I downed you before but can't undo it now it seems. My apologies.
- jgalt212 7y agotrue, but you don't have to read 100% of them to train the spam and phishing catchers. But you do need to read 100% of the emails, i.e. no sampling, if you want get a comprehensive purchase history of each gmail user--which they seem to have.
- joshuamorton 7y agoYou have to read the incoming emails to filter them. There's no way to know if the email you were sent is spam without looking at it, in some sense.
