So I was very happy today when one of our fellow Esato members sent me an invite to Gmail. I opened an account right away.
Five hours later I received my first Spam mail!!!!!
I hadn't even used my Gmail yet.
How crazy is that!!!
Has anyone else had this problem???

I have had gmail for about 4 months now... and no spam goes into my inbox... it automatically goes directly into my spam folder, and i just delete it, its not so much a problem for me. I do have AOL so i rarley use it... but it is still pretty cool.
if anyone wants an invite, pm me

Well, yes, mine goes to the Spam box too but it is very ODD that I got spam 5 five hours after I opened the Gmail account. And I haven't even sent or received any email yet. Very weird!!!

i understand what your sayin better now, but when u signed up, maybe they never said they wont sell ur e-mail address.... so maybe they cold it to their advertisers so they send u spam, and google still gets paid... maybe thats it

I'm getting spam in my gmail account- and I've never given that to anybody!
However, it goes straight into the spam folder for me too, not a problem, just surprising they've got the address, they must send spam to every possible letter combination

well hwne you sign up to gmail it does say that they will send you spam in there conditions.
They send you spam according to what mail you receive. Like i suscribe to pc reviews and now i get spam to buy pc parts.
Although this all appears in the spam section not the inbox.

@milay- I doubt that gmail would spam me with offers of penis extensions, prescription meds and pirated software, which are the ones I got!
