The Spam-Filter used in the Mozilla Mail Client is pretty good. I'd like to see
an option to filter non-spam-e-mails with this filter (I think it's a bayes
filter) to categorize them or to sort them into subfolders.
This would be a pretty useful enhancement.

Since classification of an e-mail as SPAM is done via an icon, this method
wouldn't be suitable for using bayes filters on normal e-mails, since several
icons for several groups would irritate the user a lot.
Classification could be done by "marking" e-mails to belong to groups (Use a
derivate of the "Label" function)
This could be done (for example) by right-clicking on a mail, selecting "Group"
and then the group/folder where it should be sorted into.
