POPFile – Automatic Email Classification
- agildehaus 11y agoUsed to use this and it works great, though it's a bit difficult to setup for the average person. Wish someone would implement Bayesian classification directly into a webmail service. Gmail classifies to its own categories, but it's just not the same as being able to specify your own.
- gst 11y agoIIRC Google Inbox supports that feature.
- agildehaus 11y agoGmail and Inbox only classify email into certain categories. You cannot specify your own and have it learn over time.
- jgrahamc 11y agoI posted this as a blast from the past. I wrote POPFile (and antecedents) in about 2000 and was invited to the first MIT Spam Conference organized by one... Paul Graham.
- im_dario 11y agoThank you for such a great piece of software. I used POPFile during 6 years at office and it worked flawlessly.
- jgrahamc 11y agoCool. Glad it worked well for you.
- kev009 11y agoWow throwback indeed. This got me through the first half of the 2000s when spam was a real big issue on ISP mail accounts.
- bsg75 11y ago> POPFile is a proxy which sits between your mail client and your mail server. Is there anything similar that works as a service / daemon that uses rules to move new messages into folders? Working with multiple email hosts, each which has there own flakey rules engine, can result in inconsistent routing. I would love something I can run on my own server that would move messages on mail hosts before my various email clients are used to read them.
