    I was thinking about spam today. I'm always selecting "Delete all spam messages now" because I get hundreds of them (filtered nicely by Gmail). Then I was thinking...why don't I just change my settings so that all spam messages are automatically deleted forever, right away. Since I have only found something getting dumped their by mistake maybe once. But I just can't do it. I need to be able to have the spam folder intact in case something important DOES make its way into that folder, even though it's extremely rare. Maybe this is my OCD coming through.

    Then I went into the Gmail settings and discovered that this option to automatically delete all spam right away is not even there anymore. Rather, you must wait 30 days for Gmail to automatically get rid of it.

    So....I have a situation that doesn't even have the other solution I was thinking about.
