   I'm absolutely stunned that #Gmail keeps allowing crap like this through its spam filters.

     I should emphasize that my email software of choice is #Thunderbird, but I'm constantly using other apps for the same reason I consistently used Windows and macOS when I was covering Linux full-time.

     It's important to understand (and sometimes learn from) the competition.

     Also worth mentioning a troublesome stat: In 2022, roughly 18% of email messages delivered to a business email user’s inbox were
     spam. This figure is expected to increase to about 20% by 2026.

     @serebit @kde Right! And many of those "little things" are big deals when they matter to us.

     @killyourfm Agreed! I've been meaning to check out how @kde handles multi-monitor panels, especially with hotplugging monitors. It's always the little things.

     @CCirco It's kind of amazing we haven't figured this all out by now. Accurately flagging spam is like the holy grail of email service.

     @killyourfm spam is an odd thing. At my work I would get about 1/5 messages being spam. Then they changed the filter and started getting legit emails and spam getting caught up in the filter. Even emails from colleagues at one point.

     @killyourfm And yet at the same time, they seem to block some domains for no reason: https://www.heise.de/news/Google-stufte-ct-de-als-Spamschleuder-ein-9241222.html
