Do you still check your spam mail?

I'm rarely looking a spam mail, it is because most of the things that I'll see are just an advertisement. I'm glad that emails nowadays are using auto spam which can detect if the email is just spam or a real one which makes our inbox clean unlike before, but there are still times that some important messages were sent to a spam folder. It is the reason why I'm still looking to a spam folder just in case there's an important email that was tagged as spam

Indeed. If we're expecting an important email then we have to check it just to make sure that there's nothing important under the spam box

I cleaned my email a couple of weeks ago so it is manageable but I've been slacking off so it has been building up again.

At the beginning of this year, I've lost a very important mail. It was for an amazing job position, so it said date, place, all documets needed for the test which I was supposed to attend. And here I am, stayed jobless till july and now intermitting working at an Ice cream shop closing soon because of covid lol Life's so not funny. check your spam (but trash in general) twice ,always
