GMail recently put an email from my landlord about this year's lease renewal into the spam folder. I only knew it was there because he texted me a few days later asking for a response to the email. He was using the same email address he's used for the past five years for emails to me. There were no attachments. We've discussed lease renewal every year. No idea why GMail suddenly decided that email was spam but if he hadn't texted me, I never would have known to go looking for it.
- m_t 4y agoFunny that, we had the same problem with an email from the agency that our landlord use to rent the place. The email was perfectly legit, with the usual attached PDF that you'd expect in those kind of communication.
- myself248 4y agoSeriously. "I have corresponded with this party before" should be a pretty solid not-spam attribute. How is this so hard?
- luckylion 4y agoGoogle is just weird about that stuff. I've previously had the issue where me and someone else on the same workspace with the same domain had lots of back and forth and suddenly Google decided me sending them a reply was spam. Both were authenticated while sending and it was in an email chain. It's like, everything signals "this is fine" but their filters say "no, this must be spam". Eventually we just both used our non-google private email accounts because using the work emails was just not reliable enough. I have no idea why people use any Google communication products, missing legitimate email is much too high a risk for me.
