I’ve been reluctant to move away from using Outlook Express for my personal POP mail, largely because it’s worked pretty well for me, all things considered.
But one feature would make me fall in love with any e-mail client out there: learning-by-example.
I want the program to learn, from the folder I drag the message to, what messages should automatically go into that folder. (I’d like to be able designate folders as non-learning, too, but that’s icing on the cake.) It would probably be some sort of Bayesian learning process; in fact, I could, in theory, get POPFile (my spam filter) to do it, except that it’s not terribly convenient to do more than just flag spam/not-spam in it. Having it analyze multiple word combos would be helpful, too.
If I could get something that would work by rules defined empirically, rather than my having to figure rules out, would be truly awesome.
Does anyone know of anything like that?
I don’t know of any, but if it’s there, I want it!
