I've been not very happy with Gmail's spam filtering, though I admit it's hard to do right. But its false positives were the main reason I moved away from it. The last straw was when they spam-filtered an email from my landlord because it contained some Danish text in it (I live in Denmark!). I eventually found it in my Spam folder (which I thereafter had to check regularly) with the explanation that it was filtered because "It's written in a different language than your messages typically use."
- davidw 13y agoWhat have you replaced it with? I regularly get emails in both Italian and English and it seems to get things right most of the time. And it filters out a ton of spam - I probably get at least 20 an hour, so without a good filter, I'd be "up a creek".
