Google Sidebar Displays Spam

Is There A Way To Filter Spam Out?

I've been running my desktop with the Google Sidebar (part of the new Google Desktop) for seven days now.

The information presented in the Sidebar is interesting enough to keep me from disabling it. I do, however have a complaint. And it has to do with the email alert portion of the Sidebar:

It does not do spam filtering. It's true that there is a way to add filters by hand. But that's so inadequate, especially considering that I have trained my Thunderbird spam filter to do a pretty good job.

(I have to send myself several test emails just so that I can take a screenshot that won't embarrass everybody.)

Please, Google, make it work!
