If, like me, you download your email to a Email client then you may like to know, that anything Google marks as spam goes to the spam folder and you don't get it!
There is no way to disable the spam filter in the new web(google)mail, but there are ways around this (even though your emails are now marked spam).

May help, I'm waiting to see the result!
