The internet is made of canned spam?

So, supposedly google never deletes anything that flies around in gmail's systems.

I wonder- does that apply to spam, as well? It all gets filtered out of your inbox, and "deleted" after 30 days. However, if the same policy applies as to everything else, this suggests that most of google's mail servers are actually just filled with spam.

I'm amused :p

Considering you can't ACCESS "deleted" spam I'm pretty sure that in this case "deleted" actually means... you know, deleted.

You can't access "deleted" any other kind of message, either. However, it's all still there on the servers.

...I think you're confusing delete with archive.
