What are the emails that go directly to Gmail spam?

It is possible that we are the type of user who knows little how the mail services that Gmail makes available to us work, so we do not know the different functions that it has in addition to the simple fact of being used to send emails, actually , this excellent application is capable of detecting malicious or advertising emails or messages that are automatically sent to a folder named ‘Spam’, this for our convenience.

This represents a huge advantage for us because the application frees us from emails that can be harmful to us, the big question is which emails go directly to the spam? Speaking clearly, there are several types of email that the platform detects as problematic, so it moves them to another location where they do not harm anything, in addition, Gmail also allows us to create an account without the need for a phone number , without a doubt, another of its advantages.

push notifications

A Bot is a type of program widely used in computing to perform repetitive tasks using the Internet. Gmail makes use of these programs as a recognition control in accordance with the structure of the email, making sure that this email does not represent any danger. For this reason, the emails that are sent automatically or directly in the form of automatic notifications are detected and therefore the safest action is to send them to the spam folder, this happens because these emails are considered malicious or dangerous. enough to be available in the inbox.

Spam

One of the things that characterizes spam is the constant and repetitive sending of the same information, that is, the same email over and over again to multiple email addresses. This repetitive action is taken as suspicious by the platform and since it is generally advertising information it is considered Spam and for this reason the application automatically deposits it in the folder where it stores malicious or unwanted emails, this is precisely the same as It happens with emails that have an unidentifiable script, since this is the phishing method that hackers usually use to do their mischief.

unwanted invitations

Unwanted invitations are those emails that arrive at the different email addresses without invitation or authorization or any action that allows the reception or response from a web page, that is, they are emails that reach us from different websites of dubious reputation. and with whom we have never interacted so they should not have the information concerning our email address. For this reason, when analyzed by Google bots, they do not pass the test and are considered a potential danger, which is why they are sent to the spam folder.

Malicious emails

There are many methods that hackers use to try to enter our computer and the reality is that this is a game for them, so if we let them in they can cause havoc and even steal valuable information for us such as bank passwords and other matters that require attention. Malicious emails are one of the ways that this type of criminal uses to try to enter our device or our PC and although it is not the only method they use, it is one that gives them good results since we only need to open the email. so that they have what they need, luckily for us, Gmail detects it and prevents the holocaust.

Advertising

The offer of products and services is generally another tactic widely used to send malicious emails, and that is that who is not interested in a good offer, based on the taste for good prices, certain pages and even hackers use these strategies to try to deceive us and thus give them the green light to access our personal information. But for those of us who use an application that cares so much about our security, this is not a problem because Gmail will never allow this type of email to reach our inbox , although if we want to protect our mobile data we always have the possibility of unlink, delete or remove the cell phone account and review it from the PC.

How can I see the spam folder in Gmail?

The ways to access certain locations within the Gmail application may have slight differences depending on the device from which we are trying to enter, the easiest way and therefore the most used by users is the Smartphone, so if not We have the slightest idea of ​​how to get to the folder where the spam emails are stored. What we have to do is enter the application by clicking on its icon. Then slide up and to the left on the screen, click on the three horizontal stripes to access the menu and there we look for and click on the ‘Spam’ option, there we will see all the emails, another option is through the web page of Gmail, let’s go through the steps to view them from there.

How to see them from the website?

If for some reason there is no possibility of accessing Gmail from the mobile application, either because it does not work or because we have unlinked it, we always have at our disposal the option of entering through the web page, this of course we must do from a computer, therefore if this is the method we will use, what we must do to enter the spam folder is enter our Google search engine and locate the Gmail website , surely the first result we will see is the one that corresponds to the official page so we click there.

Then within the page at the top we will click where it says ‘Access’, on the next screen we place our email address and password to enter our account, when we are inside, in the options panel on the left we must select the option ‘More’, when doing so we will see a drop-down menu with a couple of additional options among which is the one we are looking for which is ‘Spam’, by clicking there we will see all the spam emails that Gmail has considered suspicious.

What should you do so that these emails go to this folder in your Gmail?

The interesting thing about Gmail is that it not only takes the task of classifying the emails we receive as spam seriously, but also allows us to configure certain criteria of personal interest for the classification of said emails, making certain emails that we do not want to receive in the inbox, they are sent to the ‘Spam’ folder, the reverse process is also true, since if we configure it correctly we will also be able to see emails that the application does not allow. So we can say that Gmail does not act arbitrarily in this regard. , let’s see what we can do.

filters

The first option that we will mention for configuring the spam folder is the so-called filters to which we have two ways to access, the first is to enter Gmail either from the website or from the mobile application, within this we must Click on the gear-shaped icon that we can see in the upper right corner to enter the settings, when entering there we must click on ‘See all settings’ then we will see several tabs on the screen in which we must select the fifth from the left on the right, the one that corresponds to ‘Filters and Blocked Addresses’.

The next thing we have to do when we enter this tab is click on ‘Create a Filter’ and at this point we have full authority to select the criteria required for a specific filter. The second way we have to get to the filters is by looking for the ‘Spam’ folder and selecting each of the messages that are there, we click on the three ‘dots and then search and enter the ‘Message Configuration Tools’ option ‘, Right here we can indicate the filter that we will use for these emails that we do not want in our inbox.

blocked addresses

Within this same tab that we have selected in the previous procedure, we can use address blocking to prevent certain messages from these addresses that we have blocked from entering our inbox, that is, this implies the addresses of the pages that we have blocked. They send advertising, disreputable pages and also email addresses of people we do not want to reach us, giving us greater privacy and peace of mind knowing that Gmail imposes our criteria on the selection of spam. So let’s make the most of these options to customize and configure spam.

How can I remove all emails from the spam folder in Gmail?

If the case is that we want to completely eliminate all the emails that are in the spam folder, we have several ways to do it, the first of these is to enter the spam folder following the procedure that we have described in the previous paragraphs , then we select all the emails that are there by checking the checkbox under the name ‘Select All’ and then find and click on the option ‘Delete Permanently’ and that’s it, we will have deleted them.

The other procedure available to delete the messages found in this folder is selecting the messages one by one by clicking on the check box that is just to the left of each message, this procedure is useful if we do not want to delete all the messages so it allows us to select the ones we really want to disappear. We can do it that easily.
