How's that? I didn't see anything in the link that said all email sent from people not in your Contacts list is sent to spam. Was it in one of the Comments? (I didn't read those.) If that's what someone wrote, then yes, I contradict that, and I know from years of experience that I am right about that. > As for periodically checking, Google email should be a "set it and forget > it" service > ... > NOTHING is "set it and forget it". We like to think that every good backup service is "set and forget", but honestly none of them is. No matter what you use, you need to periodically check that it is working. Gmail is certainly not "set and forget". What if a hacker gets into your account (by somehow gaining access to your password) and compromises everything? If you don't ever bother to check it, you wouldn't know. There is no way to guarantee that that couldn't happen.
