I generally don't have time to do this.  but, I have occasionally found important emails there.

Because I know this happens to people, I always try to follow up w/ customers to make sure they received my proposals.  I have saved a few that did go to the spam folder just by having them check.

It is a good idea to check spam folders regularly - and delete all the spams immediately instead of piling it up.

Praful, before clearing junk mail, I select alphabetical order, then browse  by who sent the email.  There are certain senders and categories I monitor, and others that I recognize as junk.  Because my email comes to both my desktop and my smart phone, I tend to follow up and delete obvious junk frequently from the phone, and then move important messsages to folders or a HOLD folder for further review.  Things may still slip through cracks, but not as likely.   Most e-mail is junk once you get past the title.

I quickly skim before deleting. On the off chance that something landed in spam that I should really see, I take the approach that if it's really important the sender will email it again (and maybe call me to make sure I see it.)

Definitely, Praful Thakkar ... I know for a fact that a few of my referral partners emails go in there (for whatever reason that I can't quite fix).  I don't want to miss something important or timely ...
