screenshot

The mailclassifier extension helps you to move the email in the right folder, it uses bayesian filtering.

When a new mail arrives, it's classified and the most probable folder it goes in is showed in the new classification column.

If you agree with the classification, click on the hyperlink and the email will be moved in the respective folder

If the classification is wrong or these is no classification you can train the software showing the right classification

Right Click -> Classification -> Change directory and Move -> Right Folder

If you select multiple emails and want to move each mail in it's respective folder

Right Click -> Classification -> Move
or
Tools -> Mailclassifier -> Move messages

Instead, if you want to classify all the message in the current folder use:

Tools -> Mailclassifier -> Classify all

The languages available are:

If you make a translation, submit it to me.

Current version 0.6.2 can catch only the subfolder that was placed in "outside of the inbox folder".
I hope this improvement sometime.

But when I move the archive folders from my account to "local folders", the mailClassifier works good.

Hi I am using Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 with MailClassifer 0.6
I like this extension but I have two main problems with it
1) when it classifies a mail incorrectly, although it allows to reclassify and move it to another folder, it does not allow it to be reclassified to be left in the general inbox. The inbox is just not there among the optional folders.
2) There's no setting that allows it to automatically move the emails to the right folders when they come in. Theoretically, once this extension is well trained it should be able to guess where each new mail has to go; It would be a much more user friendly extension if it gave you the option of doing the work for you...

to eldad:

1) You can use Ctrl + Z to restore the mail that was moved accidentally. Inbox can't be among them because it's not an user folder.

2) Should be as an option in the next version... that should come... when I have some time. :-)

Thanks Emanuele
I'll be looking forward to your next version, I think this extension is a very good idea.
Regarding the inbox, I still think this is an important issue. Everybody that organizes his/her email into folders also uses the inbox for general unclassifiable email. Using the program now, my inbox is full of emails that is classified incorrectly while in fact i would like to leave them in the inbox. What I would like to be able to do is just cancel their classification.
If indeed you were to add the automated classify and move feature, then some emails would find their way to folders organized by subject and I would not be able to return them to the inbox and "declassify" them. I think this should be an important feature.

Best,

Eldad

Hi,

Was looking for such a feature for a long time.
Thank you for that!!!!

I though at first the plugin did not work. But I realized that the classification is done account by account, which does not correspond to my current organisation:
account 1
Inbox
Sent
account 2
Inbox
Sent
Local Folders
Inbox
Sent
folder1
folder2
...

Mails from the accounts' inboxes are not classified, but they are once I move them to the local folders' Inbox.
Is there a way to have classification done globally, instead of within "separated" accounts.

In any case, good job!

Florina, I thought I had the same problem. The menu item is grayed out. It may be that you are trying to use it in your inbox folder, where it will not work. It works only in other folders. Very frustrating, as it would have been so useful otherwise. The inbox folder is the only folder I would want to use it... Hopefully this will change some time.

Great idea, there are a few features that would make it more in line with how most people (I believe) deal with thier mail.

One would be to separate the classifications from the mailboxes, this way you can train it to classify say 100 different classifications but then for each tell it which folder to put it in, including spam, and 'leave in inbox'. This would make it almost perfect for me because then you could sort on classification within a mailbox instead of having to create many many mailboxes.

And I think, the sender (or the reciever, if I am the sender) is more relevant, than the content of the message...

If you can do this, classify first by the sender, and if it is not work, classify by the content. ;)

Hi,
I can only add to the general appeal to upgrade the plugin to 2.0 - it's too good to just perish.

In addition, I'd like to comment on FARKAS Mate posting: Although it makes sense that the filter also looks at the sender, in some cases (business) i.e. you have several "purposes", duties, projects etc. and thus mailboxes for one person's emails. Thus it would make sense that one could weigh sender email as well as content when filtered.
best regards,

Grendel

Great extension! I have found it works with 2.0.0.x, but have a few suggestions too:

1) Make it work with subfolders under the INBOX folder. Workaround: Create a 'root' level Saved Messages folder and then place subfolder under that. It would be nice to have it work with subfolders under inbox, though.

2) BUG: Folders with a colon (:) in them will are not displayed when moving or classifying messages. You have to remove the colon from the folder name before it can be displayed.

I keep everything in my inbox and then sort by tags (tb v2+) when needed (like gmail). I would like the context menu to include "Tag" and "Tag as..." in addition to the two defaults.

Treat tags as folders. If the classification results in a tag instead of a folder, the clicking the classification would tag the message. Otherwise, clicking the classification would move the message to the chosen folder.

I hope this will be fixed in later versions, I have to remove it and switch back to use POPFile which is not integrated into thunderbird but which seems more efficient and uses far less memory.

A couple of ideas that would make this more useful:

1. Add buttons to opened email pane, stating 'Move to ...' classified folder. Also, let user create external list for this, so choices could be 'ToDo', 'NeedInfo', and 'Move to ...'.

2. Definitely need to be able to classify by Sender.

The context menu only has two options (four with my tags proposal). I'd like a separator below them and the five most frequent classifications listed there so that I don't have to hunt them down.

Example:

Classification >
Change directory and move ...
Move

-> Bob-mail
-> Mozilla
-> Trash
-> Ham

Here's another example, where I've changed several names around:

Classify and Move To >
Important
----
Junk
Bob-mail
Mozilla
Trash
Ham
----

First order, where did the classifications go? I trained the classifier, and moved the emails to subfolders, but when I browsed to the subfolder, the classification column was empty.

Second, let me add my voice to the chorus of those who are calling to leave unclassified emails in the inbox. I work in a NOC, and so, I receive a lot of automated reports and alarms, and subscribe to a few listservs, which I want to filter to subfolders. The inbox is reserved for things from real humans. We need to be able to strip the classification from messages. Which should probably be easy to do on its own. Surely there's provision for a *null* classification.

Also, can classifications be inserted as headers? It would be nice to be able to bring T-Bird's native filtering tools to bear on the classification tags. Though I notice that even T-Bird's native tagging facility isn't callable by the filters. Or can you add the classification tags to the filter options directly?

Also, I notice that Classifier doesn't recognize T-Bird's native Junk Mail folder. I realize that not everyone has enabled T-Bird's Junk Mail folder, so maybe you can hav Classifier check to see if a Junk Folder exists, and offer to create one on installation if it doesn't find it.

Hi, first of all thank you for a _very_ useful idea. After using MailClassifier now for a couple of weeks, it can really save time, when you just need a single click to properly archive an email, but...
I experience that receiving emails gets slower and slower. It now takes about 4 to 5 seconds (completely blocking Thunderbird), when new mails come in. Any way of using multi-threading to use a different CPU?
If there was a way of manually adding rules (or help the classifier engine) this would be great. E.g. all mails to should be marked "Mailing List A" by default.
Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Christian

Why the hell any bayes and training? I was just looking for a filter for thunderbird that lets me combine OR and AND in a single filter! This extension seem the closest to my needs, still completely useless - it uses some automation based on semiinteligent technology - no i do not want any inteligence from my email client, but I want to be able to set basic (not useless as is the default) filtering...
About 90% of extensions for thunderbird just moves part of menu content to some button -> the extensions site seem very funny to me :)
I will have to write my own extension for such a trivial functionality...

@emanuele:

Awesome extension! Please add an "undo" option, so those of us with clumsy fingers can prevent corpus corruption. I look forward to the next version!

@defj:

Psst. Thunderbird is open source. Hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Hi, it is a really nice extension. I've installed it today and after a couple of manual movings, the extension has learned and it's suggesting right moves. My congratulations!

I would like to add to the requests for the option to tag a message instead of move it to a different folder. This would make MailClassifier much more effective for me, as I prefer to manage the messages in a single box.

Is it possible to see the full path of the classification? If not, this should be added.

Example:

Inbox->Friends->Mats
Inbox->Family->Mats

both show up as Mats.
