I don't do it because sometimes legit email gets stuck in the spam filter. @JC: As a person with a publicly available email address, I can feel your pain. I've had people fraudulently sign me up for all sorts of unsavory stuff. @Norcross: That's a good question... I'm currently exploring how the outlook rules work with gmail imap. @Spencer:

Some jerk signed me up for multiple gay porn spam mailing lists a few days after I got my gmail account. Your method is a godsend. Thanks again.

Instead of simply marking it as "read", couldn't you just check "Delete It", and then never see the Spam in your spam folder? Hi, I have a question.
