I've been using Gmail as my main email account ever since I started receiving an average of 2,500 emails a day (average of two to three per minute), of which 70 percent are telling me that my bank account is expiring and that I need to verify my account information, or that some Nigerian needs my help to assist him in laundering tens of millions of USDs. Then there are lots of personal health products, free software, and more! If not for this wonderful spam filter of Gmail, I'd have to spend 48 hours sitting in front of my mail 24/7 just to keep up!
