How to Remove the Gmail Spam Filter
Spam filters are in place to help prevent users from getting unwanted or unsolicited emails, however sometimes spam filters can accidentally block important emails also. Gmail, Google's free email service, filters all email you receive and places what it thinks is spam into a "Spam" folder. Although you can periodically check your Spam folder for important emails that Gmail unintentionally filtered, you can instead use a workaround to remove the spam filter so that all emails appear in your "Inbox" folder.
