Hello Ricardo,

You open POPFile GUI in your browser (it's HTML) and manually
re-classify those messages that were erroneously classified. This is
how it learns. The first couple of days you may need to reclassify a
certain number of messages but, after that, and once it is at 98%
accuracy or higher, you only need to reclassify one every now and
then.

I currently use three "buckets": English, Spanish and Spam and, as I
have said, it is running at 99.59% accuracy.

POPFfile _is_ very practical, at least for me. You can have a link to
it on your Desktop to open its GUI when you wish. Aside of that, it
can optionally include an "X-POPFile-Link:" header in all messages
with a link to the message as kept in its history list. So, from
within TB, or any other mail client, you can view RFC-822 headers and
double click on the link which will open POPFile and display the
message.
