Gmail

Hi,
Sorry, but after many posts to the Gmail forum, I am having no success.
The problem is Gmail?
I am getting so much Spam, IN my Spam folder?? everyday, around 50 or more.
I have created filters, to delete the individual spam, but it keeps on coming?
Is there a spam filter, or a free spam software, that I can use with Gmail?

Can anyone please help me?
Thanks
Rip:(

That's the purpose of your SPAM folder at gMail.
Just leave it there - after 30 days it's deleted automatically.

Just checked - I've got 871 spam messages in the SPAM folder and none is over 30 days old.

I never tested if spam filters work in the spam folder, wouldn't it getting moved to the spam folder bypass any filters? I mean the spam folder is just a time delayed glorified trash can

Yup, that's the beauty of having THAT much space... you just don't have to care about the stupid spam. Just leave it there.

Just worry if you ever use a mail client with IMAP on Gmail... then select it NOT TO syncronize THAT folder or it will take forever.
