Due to the simplicity of my email address, I get emails almost everyday from stuff other people have signed up for and mistakenly put in my email address thinking it was theirs. Sometimes if it's in a foreign language I can't tell if it's spam or just normal stuff that came to the wrong address.
I have had moments of frustration where I've selected a whole group of these emails and marked them as spam in the hopes that they would stop showing up in my inbox.
- coliveira 12y agoIt turns out this is a serious problem with using a gmail account. I receive all the time email that was sent to some other unrelated person with similar name. This happens with lots of people that I know. I decided it is better to stop making gmail my main email, and treat it just as a junk mail destination.
