Google is incredibly good at this. I see maybe 20 false negatives a year (they usually get corrected if I don't check my mail for a few hours) and 1-2 false positives. This out of thousands of good emails and 100,000+ spam mails. That said, I think it's good to keep the "spam" folder. I normally only check it if I learn through another channel that I should have got a mail, I don't "browse it every few days" as some others suggest.

> google is incredibly good at this. Interesting. My experience has been exactly the opposite. For me, using Gmail is like using Microsoft word in 2007. Slow interface, 34 different navigation menus, emails from friends appear in either promotions or updates at random, spam filter has a false positive once per week. The only thing missing is the little animated paperclip guy.

  Can't say I've ever had personal email end up in Promotions, but would have thought it would learn after you move a message that had landed there into your inbox...
