225965 - Feature request: generalisation of Baysian sorting to mutiple mailboxes and labelling.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 181866

(MailNews Core :: Filters, enhancement)

Description

[Tim Wesson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016

Baysian filtering is already included within Mozilla Mail;  it would surely be a
"killer" extension were mail to presort and label incoming mail.  Naturally, the
presumption of "Not Junk" would have to be replaced with "not normal".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Turn on Baysian "junk" filtering.
2.  Get mail.
3.  Observe mail sorting and labelling.

Actual Results:  
Whilst mail is (approximately) correctly sorted into two catagories, it has not
been filtered further than that, furthermore, mail has not been labeled into
catagories such as "work", "personal" etcetera.

Expected Results:  
Ideally, Mozilla would filter and label incoming mail (if the appropriate level
of filtering were turned on).  However, _expected_ results are the results attained.

This enhancement would be an excellent accompaniment to further refinements
being made to the Baysian filtering mechanisms, given that spammers are becoming
more sophisticated in response to better spam filtering techniques.  A kind of
"civilian spinoff" in the war against spammers, if you like.
