Save a minute a day :-)

I should have signed up for some free offers that led to flood of spam on my gmail account. It was like few hundreds everyday - one option was to create a new email account but I was liking that id so much. Deleting the spam mails everyday was becoming a pain and I reluctantly switched over to a new email id. But visiting the old email id even once in a while costed few minutes to clear the spam as gmail did not allow to show/select more than 100 mails per hit. I was checking if there is an option to route the spam mails to trash automatically. Even though a bit risky to lose some mails, I thought its a better option than manually clearing it. But I could never find a way out until I told my brother. He gave an option to take care of this via filters:

is:spam

Enter the above in the "has words" field and create a filter and you are all set. Works like a charm! Great find!

Another interesting read was on the several google products we see. Used to wonder why many (or is it all?) are ever-beta? Of course I understand there is always room for improvement and never a word called perfection but looks like folks do question :-)
