Stats Say: Sticking With Gmail!

I decided that yesterday would be the last day of comparing how the three
email services filter email. Dealing with one dose of spam is bad enough, but
I’m stuffed counting three doses of it! More important, there’s little point for
me, personally. Yahoo still catches far too little spam for me to consider going
with it. SpamCop remains competitive with Gmail. However, with Gmail, I get the
added advantage of a huge web-based archive of my mail. Going forward, I’m just
going to focus on things I’d like to see changed in Gmail to make it better. But
how about a last look at those stats?

For more on what the first group of figures below mean, see this
page. This
page explains the second
group. These are for January 20, 11:30am UK time through January 22, 11:00am UK time.

Overall, a great day for Gmail. I started whitelisting items yesterday, but
that really didn’t do anything to the false match rate, which was already low to
begin with.

Yahoo’s had the biggest false match rate. Whitelisting that I started
yesterday there did help ensure that several newsletters normally nabbed as spam
got through OK.
