It’s super annoying that other people’s spam habits hit you.

For a while I couldn’t receive email notifications from Facebook because so many other gmail users marked them as spam, so no matter how many I unmarked, I was screaming in the wind.

Fair enough that other people don’t wanna deal with that crap, but it should still be my prerogative to receive them.

I first gave up, and later decided I didn’t care. But for a while I thought it was clever to have an immutable archive of Facebook interactions (those notifications used to include full text of posts you were tagged in or that was written on your wall as well as new messages)

You can create a filter to ensure that address is never marked as spam.

Depends on where you get your e-mail. I use outlook.com for one of my email accounts and there are things that it has decided are spam no matter how many times I mark as not spam and “add to safe senders.”
