Ok I see your point; but I want to add that one of the reasons your old account has spam is because you don't use it; I don't know what algorithm they are using but it certainly relies on usability data; I don't know exactly but could be: what language you usually speak in; what hours of the day you receive and read important email, what subjects you read about, etc etc.


Yeah, that could be. I have to spend a significant part of my time now dealing with spam (sysadmin), and Gmail's handling of spam is years ahead of most of the tools I have available.
