In the past, I have pleaded for help with this issue, and some have responded with frustration that I brought this up again ... so I apologize in advance for bringing this up again now. But the problem has worstened to an enormously frustrating extent. More than 2,000 spam email messages now come into my gmail account every day. It is perplexing and infuriating to me that google/gmail will not allow creating filters to *delete* (not just move to trash) all this garbage that is clearly identifiable and definable. Recently, gmail began to mark about half to 2/3rds of this garbage with the title *****SPAM***** in the subject line. Why would they bother doing that instead of just totally blocking or automatically deleting forever all this garbage rather than just labeling it as SPAM? Or at least give us the option to choose to have all such mail deleted rather than put into a spam folder. I (and many others) have written to Google and to Gmail forums about this numerous times, but of course no one at Google ever responds. What prompts this message today is that I have recently talked with other email users who are even larger volume users of email than I and they have expressed amazement at the volume of spam that I am receiving. Because, they have reported to me that they are *not* receiving even 1/100th of the volume of spam that I receive. So, can anyone recommend any remedy or alternate, perhaps even a paid web mail service, by which I might be able to gain some control over this nightmare? I would certainly be willing to pay for a solution.
