The reason can be that you are using your Gmail ID more than your other IDs.
I have noticed that on one particular ID that I use very rarely and never
get mails from (in short, a wasted email id), I hardly get spams. The most
spam hit ID is my yahoo messenger ID followed by my gmail ID. I am happy
since not a single spam message has got past google's filter. I periodically
check to make sure that no legal mail goes to the spam box. That has occured
only once. That too was a forward from a friend that spoofed the nigeria 419
mail :P
