MyOdd classifier has many options to help you manage your emails

Options

Debug

Always re-check possible new category

When you right click a message you can see what the classifier thinks it should be, (you and the classifier might disagree on that...). If you choose to always re-check the classifier will call the engine every time you right click on the message.

Only if current category is unknown

This is an exception to the rule above, only check if the current classification is unknown, (if you have not confirmed what the messaged should be classified as).

Once you classified something, odds are very good that the engine will agree with you for the foreseeable future, so no need to re-check all the time.

Always re-check if the Ctrl key is down.

If you want to force a re-check, in all cases, press the Ctrl-Key before you right click the message.

This will cause the engine to re-classify the message.

Weight

The 'Weight' is the importance placed on a classified mail.

Magnets

What weight to use when a magnet is used.

User trained

What weight to use when the user trains the message directly.

Misc (Miscellaneous)

Common word percent

If a word probability for all the categories is more than the given percentage, then the word is ignored.

Leave that value at 50% unless you know what you are doing... changing this could really mess things up.

Minimum category percent (0.7.0.3)

The minimum percentage a category must be to be 'classified'. If the classifier is 70% sure what a messages belongs to a category, but the minimum category percent value is 80% then the message will not be classified at all.

Automatically use new messages for training

Not recommended, this makes the assumption that the classifier is always correct and must learn from all new messages. Effectively learn more and more from all messages and only 'un-learn' when the user makes a correction.

Automatically use new messages with magnets for training

When a magnet is used, we will use the message for training, this is valuable information for the classifier as the user said that the message must always fall in a certain category.

You can of course change the classification if it was not correct.

Automatically use new messages moved to folders for training (0.7.0.5)

When a message is manually moved to a folder, myoddweb.classifier will attempt to train the message. If a message is wrongly classified as "Ham" and you move it to the "Spam" folder, then the message will be used to classify other "Spam" messages.

Confirm training category when multiple choices (0.7.0.5)

When a message is moved manually, the folder could be used for more than one category, in that case myoddweb.classifier will need to ask the user to select the proper training category.

Delay before classification (0.7.0.2)

Before moving/classifying a message, we want to give other rules a chance to fire. You can increase the delay depending on the type of rules you use.

You can enter a value of '0', this will cause the message to be processed 'realtime', (or near real time). This might cause some rules to not fire, (such as alerts for example) (0.7.0.4).

If you are happy with your rules before classification then you can add a 2 or 3 seconds delay before processing.

Check unprocessed emails on startup

In certain cases, (on exchanges for example), emails are moved to folders even if the mail application is not running.

So you might want the classifier to re-check and re-classify all emails that were not processed.

Log (0.7.0.1)

This section helps you manage the logs created.

Level

The higher the log level, the more information is logged.

  • None - Log nothing at all (not recommended!)
  • Error - Log error messages, something bad happened!
  • Warning - Log warnings, something interesting but not really expected happened.
  • Information - Log information messages, something expected happened that might be interesting.
  • Verbose - Log everything, not very useful in most cases.

Retention policy

How long we will be keeping messages for, after that many days we will delete the messages. There is no point in keeping the messages for ever...

Display Log Size

How many messages you want to see when you click the "Log ..." button
