True Maggie, it is the first time it has happened but yes I have had warnings of an imposter possibly logging on on another computer (my Ipad in Tenerife!) I think Google upped its security at some stage.

It possibly went on 'high alert' when you logged on at a different location.
I logged into my e-mail account at work.
When I went in at home - it wasn't a happy bunny - gave me all sorts of warnings :-(

It seems to have sorted itself Shirley. I did mark a message as not spam so whether that sorted it, or whether for some reason it was my I pad (it only happened when I was away from home and not on my desk top.) I don't know.

Maybe one message got marked as spam so all now go there

Can you mark a message as not spam and see if that sorts it

I have been away. While away I was not getting facebook alers on my Ipad. I put that down to being on the Ipad in Tenerife. However, now home I find all my facebook alerts have been sent to spam. Why is this suddenly happening?

I will also put this on facebook but am interested to know if anyone on here has had the same problem.

Off to fill up the food cupboard now but back later.
