Summary: summary of filtered spam emails to recognize false
positives
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: SuSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: tmoser tmoser ch
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from: SuSE RPMs
The SPAM filtering in KMail works great with learning filters like bogofilter. However, sometimes an email gets moved into the spam folder, even though it shouldn't (false positive). This error stays unnoticed, unless the user searches through the spam folder on a regular basis. This can create some annoying situations.
Suggestion: A new function of KMail that generates a summary of the newly filtered emails on a regular basis and presents this to the user for quick review.
For example, every day an overview of the new spam messages is generated and put into the users INBOX as an email. This way, the user is reminded automatically to check the summary for false positives and he is able to do so quite efficiently.
- Format: e.g. a simple list of all the sender email addresses, subjects and receive dates.
- Sorting / Highlighting: e.g. the relevance / spam score could be used to sort the most probable false positives to the top or highlight them somehow.
- Interval of notification configurable.
