On 4.1.09 for some reason I stop receiving Myspace comment and message alert notifications via my gmail account. I have a few gmail accounts and all of them are forwarded to one. My myspace account is with an email that is forwarded. After tweeking with myspace and figuring out it wasnt the problem I checked my spam box, nothing from April was there for myspace. I then logged out and went to my spam box on my other account linked to myspace and woot there they all were [ quite a few!]. I love gmail and am very dependent on my account. This whole ordeal really bothered me, I know it was only 2 days of emails but it messed me up. I went back and did a spam search for “myspace” and found one way back to Feb 26 that had found its way to spam =[.

I still love gmail!

I noticed this – it clearly mis-marked an email (with no external links or images) as a phishing email!

I hope Google loses a lot of money – they should have planned for something like this. For a system that’s used millions of times, probably every second, you’d think they would have suitable tests and contingencies.
