I’m often asked how to disable the spam filter in Google Mail. It seems this “trick” isn’t yet widely known, so no worries — I’m happy to share how to bypass the filter.

Personally, I sometimes found Google’s spam filter a bit too aggressive. Important emails occasionally ended up in the spam folder, which caused confusion. Instead of accepting that, there is actually a small “trick” to bypass the filter and regain full control over our emails.

Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Sign in: Open the Gmail web interface and sign in to your account.
  2. Open Settings: Click the “Settings” button in the top right.
  3. Open the Filters tab: Go to the “Filters” tab.
  4. Create a new filter: Click the option to create a new filter.
  5. Enter filter criteria: In the “Has the words:” field enter the command in:spam. Leave the other fields empty.
  6. Proceed to the next step: Click “Next step”.
  7. Adjust spam behavior: Check “Never mark it as spam”.
  8. Save changes: Finally, click “Save”.

Voilà! Your spam filter is now disabled and you’ll receive all your emails directly in your inbox.

It’s important to note that you’re now responsible for checking and sorting your emails yourself. Make sure to also configure your email clients like Outlook, Mail, or Thunderbird to use spam filters as needed.
