Does it really matter how much spam you get? You never have to see it and you don't have to download the extra mail like you would with a normal POP3 account.

The spam filter may be excellent, but every day I have to wade through all the catched spam to look for false positives... and if there is more spam - even if it is catched - it means more work for me... So, this bug matters to me.

Yes you do have to see it, because googles Spam filtering, like everyone else's is not 100% efficient. I have had to dig out legitimate emails out of my Spam box a few times.
