I have to admire google and gmail. when I first got my account with them on April 27th 2004 the spam detection was poor (I diverted my geoff@cortexcontrollers.com address to my gmail – this was getting 150+ spams a day) detection was about 80% or so. However, recently the detection has improved remarkably.<\/p>\n

Now gmail have released FREE POP support and email forwarding . This means I can now divert all my mail to gmail and then set my Treo to read the gmail account or have it forwarded to another private email address. Voila NO spam.<\/p>\n

Only snag is how are google going to support the new service ( I notice they are using the word FREE, which rather implies to me that they will charge) – since I won’t be reading ads anymore useing adsense. Maybe they will add some spam emails \ud83d\ude41 or start charging.<\/p>\n
