Unfortunately gmail sends about 1/2 to 1/3 of my legitimate mail to the spam folder. That number is lower recently, but is accurate up until a few days ago at least. It may be because I'm using my own domain instead of my gmail.com address, but I'm not sure. Basically what I've been telling people is if you switch to gmail be prepared to check the spam folder frequently.
