Does anybody else get a lot of spam in their gmail account? I have two and I seem to get three or four messages per hour in each.
 
Is that in your inbox or spam folder? surely if its in the spam folder its not really a problem?
 
Yeah it just goes right to the spam folder. Does google not have a spam filter to delete messages marked as spam?

The fact that it's marked as spam in the first place should tell you something. :) If you leave the spam folder alone, the contents are automatically deleted after a while. It's actually nice in case a friend accidentally gets blacklisted; you can search the spam right along with all your other mail.

Yes, on top of this you can have Gmail set to delete messages at certain intervals. I just leave it alone for the reason Anti-Trend just mentioned, but its your decision.
 
I don't get much spam in gmail, although just recently, like a week ago, the flow has dramatically jumped up for some reason. Still, I certainly don't get anywhere near as much as you describe. Now I'm getting like 1 message per day, perhaps? I used to get like 1 every several weeks, maybe as rare as 1 per month...
