Brain: He is talking about emails that contain a URL to an EXE within them, not an attachment. Google seems to refuse to accept those ones, although I think the “never add to spam” should work fine…

You get gmail to accept emails with exe extensions? For both sending and receiving an exe it has to be zipped and then rared or gmail just dumps the attachment! Even renaming an exe to exe1 doesn’t work anymore!

What would you replace it with Karoshi?

Won’t repeat the advice regarding filters, it’s how I get around this.

Wouldn’t you feel so much better if you dumped Gmail for good?

Hi QuadsZilla,

have you tried to add them to your address book?

Cheers,

You can actually create a filter in Gmail – basically put in their email address and then say “never send to spam”. I use that on my 2500+ Gmail accounts for all sorts of fun stuff and it works like a charm!

Add a filter for the email addresses of people who get sent to your spam folder, and check off “never send it to spam”.
