What Happens When You Report Spam In Gmail

Most probably like me, you get lots of spam emails in Gmail. But, let me tell you I am personally satisfied with Gmail's spam filtering. Still, if I get some unwanted (spam?) message in inbox, I press "spam" button. Hope you do the same too!
Here I am discussing what happens when you report spam in Gmail.
When you report  a spam, Gmail server notes it. And if you keep on reporting spam for a specific type of message, most probably after few days, you will notice those messages are entering directly to your Gmail spam, and not in your inbox.
Gmail says in their Help Article- The more spam you mark, the better our system will get at weeding out those annoying messages. If you or we mark a good message as spam, select the message and click Not Spam at the top of the message. If you marked it as spam, you can also immediately click Undo afterwards to recover the message.


Here, before you ask, let me quickly tell you two things-
1) If you mistakenly mark any important mail as spam, that does not mean, after that you'll get those messages in spam.
2) If you are truly getting lots of unwanted mails, you have an option to keep on reporting spam (yes, it works). But, if even after that, the problem is not solved, you have another option- you can set up filter in Gmail and select the action archive or trash or whatever you want.

Hope this helps. If you have any question or comment, you can ask in the comment box below.
