Disable Gmail spam filter

When using Gmail App its a common problem in whcih legitimate mails/forwarded mail etc are going to SPAM folder. By this when using email clients, as anything caught by Gmail as SPAM is never downloaded and seen by the client.

In Gmail there is no setting to turn it off the only option is creating email filter to pass mails to inbox: You can do the folling steps:

  • Log into Gmail . Go to Settings>>Filters, and click on "Create a new filter." In the "Has the words" field, enter "is:spam"
  • After clicking on "Create filter with this search," continue to the next step by clicking "OK."  You can Ignore the warning.
  • Choose the "Never send it to Spam" option, then click on "Create filter."

This  filter will allow all emails to hit the Inbox; Gmail's spam filter is rendered useless by this process, so your email client will have to take care of the incoming junk mail.
