During the pandemic era, I would use my Gmail account to send emails to people who signed up for an on-line museum tour that I held over Zoom. I was shocked to find out that maybe 1/3 of all recipients had to find my emails in their SPAM box. Eventually, I paid for a service that allows to send SMS in bulk so that I could inform people to check their e-mail and spam box for the login details. I hope these new measurers will mean that less email is earmark as spam. The fact that is sent out 300 mails with identical text and multiple links in it, is in no way a sign that it is spam. It got so bad in facts that some people reported not even seeing my mails in their spam box (or, many older folks don't know how to find/open their spam folders). So eventually, I asked them to send a mail to me first, to which I would simply reply.
