You should contact google about it. I recently just talked about gmail accounts in TigerDirect forum, if you know what it is. www.tigerdirect.com - there should be a 'forum' link somewhere. Or something, check and read
Have no problems signing in, not with spam either. Revices at most 3-4 spam mails each week, but they are sorted out and goes into spam folder. Excelent
Odd you should mention that, one of my (many ) Gmail accounts was hacked recently. It was an impossible to guess password, all symbols, number, upper and lower case, etc., 20 digits long. It's the only thing I've ever had hacked, and it's the only thing I use with that password. It's really weird I'm clear of spyware, keyloggers, etc.
i'll trade you hotmail accounts... i've had mine almost since their inception... i get spammed daily... everything from devry, to culinary schools, to vacation scams, to pill spam, to modified-419 spam... and their spam filters are terrible.
yet, i have a google account, which i don't use for gtalk, or gmail... isn't advertised anywhere... and it's spam free.
and then there is my personal domain, which in itself recieves 2000+ spams on a monthly basis...
