For first, google did crawl email adresses, but as in many other points 
google is just useless for different professional usage scenarios and even 
spammers collecting email adresses.

This is why spammers / address collectors run their own crawlers today and/or 
collect email addresses by other ways (i.e. directly from mail clients on 
trojaned PCs / end user devices).

Google developed any spam filters? That's a far joke as Google byself set's 
widely on still (by others) developed open source solutions. Google anytime 
was several steps behind that spam filter evolution then most professional 
business email providers i know or worked for. Even our own spam filters - 
consiting of open source and own solutions - are doing their job since many 
years on a higher level then Google ones.

Today proper spam filtering is not a really big job anymore if you just know 
what you are doing as a postmaster.

This is nonsense if you want to avoid ads and marketing stuff if you mean 
"spam" at all. Google provides you mailspace at the cost of your privacy and 
personal time as google uses it to sell ad channels to you to anyone who want 
to reach you as a proper marketing target. This is exactly that what spam 
filtering was formerly developed against.

The correct advise should be: Just use a mail system / provider administrated 
by anyone who knows what he is doing and does a proper job. And there are 
many out much better then google, but at the cost of your money instead of 
your time and personality...

Yes, there are still many mailservers and even providers out not able to run 
a proper email system, but there are many too able to do such a job / offer a 
robust email service (incl. proper spam filters).


cheers,


Niels.
