I just deleted over 31,000 spams from my Google email account because I felt like it.
There’s no way I was going to sift through all that stuff, although I guess it’s always possible to search it.

Hmmm.. why bother deleting spam? I can only see a negative which is accidently deleting a real message you might later need to search to find. Spam doesn’t affect your quota does it?
I believe it IS included in your quota, BUT it is deleted after 30 days anyway. Me, I’m already back up to 60,850 spams as of now.

One thing to note about Gmail: it automatically deletes spam after 30 days. So I fully expect to be seeing a 31,000-ish number by this time next month.
Interesting..and ironic: the one “pingback” you have for this article is from a blog that appears to set up entirely for pingback spam. Every single post says:
