I found a slew of other people who say Gmail has been sending important emails to spam in the last several days, including bank statements, event tickets, receipts and personal correspondence. Bottom line: I'd strongly advise you to begin checking your spam folder regularly until further notice. And check out these tips on how to avoid this situation (although it's not foolproof). 💰 The Daily Money is USA TODAY's Monday-through-Friday-morning roundup of all things personal finance, business and tech.
