    I think it’s talking about emails in the Promotions tab with the word “ad” in a box at the beginning of the subject line.

      Promotion tab?

      Also, if I ever get an ad via mail, it will be immedetly reported as spam. Haven’t seen any ads outside my spamfolder for quite awhile.

        Gmail sorts email by tab. Click the triple lines and you’ll see Primary, Promotions, and Social. Basically Gmail didn’t like the word spam, so they named the folder promotions.

              Nevermind I found it under the “category” tab beneath the bin. I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on that before. I just need Inbox/Sent/All Mail/Bin/Spam and my custom labels. Everything else is just clutter.

                  I believe you can choose to have those enabled or not. Edit: turns out this is exactly what the article tells you to do.
