The odds are very high that you will get spam and scam emails in your inbox especially if you have had the same email address for a long period of time.

The scam emails can come in many different forms and some are annoying but others are very dangerous. It is getting harder to pick a real email from your postal delivery and a fake one with a virus attached to the file they want you to click on.

Thankfully, Gmail has a strong filter and it can move a lot of the spam emails to your spam folder so you don't even see them. Gmail will also remove harmful links from some emails or just refuse to download them to your inbox and send you a not instead. more dangerous emails are flagged with a big red warning banner highlighting the dangers of opening the email so you get plenty of warnings not to open the email.

Watch the video below and see Gmail in action and decide for yourself if you should use gmail for your main email service or even run you other emails through your gmail account.

Gmail can check up to 5 different email accounts so you can wash all your mail in gmail if you want.
