gmail sucks

i only use gmail as a shell for webmail...mainly because i thinkthought their spam filter was awesome.  giving credit where credit is due, it is good, i generally find only relevant mail in my inbox.

but i've been getting a TON of russion spam lately.  why on earth does it not recognize that as spam?  why can't i input a setting (like outlook) that says anything with these languages are spam?  but okay, i can maybe get past that -- but since i go through every russian spam message, select it and click the "report spam" button that gmail provides, i would think it would recognize a pattern.

nope.  damn you gmail...figure it out.

    Hotmail sucks big time because lately spamers are using hotmail domain and you can not block that domain if you are using hotmail
    Gmail sucks in that the poip settings are not maintained after you close AND SAVE your options.

    Gmail sucks! It's the worst I've ever encountered. Serious problems.

    God, I hate gmail and their non-existent support! I look and look for a way to forward email. I swear I have examined and opened every option on the page and nothing allows me to forward email. I hate it. I looked at the gmail instructions and they show forward option but not my gmail. I tried a zillion ways to send an email to google to suggest they look at outlook email and copy it exactly and forget their stupid gmail design, but, they have nothing for contacting them. I prefer google for searching but will never use gmail again. I can't even contact them so they can possibly learn from this and improve it.
