When you find these messages in spam, what is the reason given for WHY they are there?
Are these senders in your contacts?
Does making a filter for or or two senders work to keep them out of Spam?

a colleague suggested that we turn off any 'tracking pixels' or 'invisible pixels' as they seem to trigger Gmail's spam filters. this started happening last week.
We're using a third party to send our emails. As soon as I turned off "email tracking" (using invisible pixels), they stopped going into the spam folder!
the downside is we can't tell anymore if the recipient opened the email, but it's 100x better than ending in the Spam folder.
I hope it stays this way :)

That's a very interesting bit of information. Thanks for sharing it.

...we've missed a lot of critical mails droped in the spams....
You should probably be checking spam daily, or even hourly for any false positives. There is zero reason to miss any messages miss-filtered to spam.

I am getting now dozens of emails from verified senders sent to spam. I use gmail to fetch my email from our work email and it sends 70 to 80% to spam and I need to check it daily for emails I am missing. When will this be fixed and what is gmail doing about this problem. It is making us consider using outlook or other products to stop this from happening....

What, then, is the point of having a spam filter?

To keep it out of your Inbox so you're not being bombarded with spam all day long. You can check it for false positives when convenient, and not have to deal with it every time one arrives.

This as well as removing any links in the email including unsubscribe links as well as photos. Did some test emails with these elements removed and all emails went from spam into inbox.
