What is the scoring system?

The scoring system was born at the news readers. It is not widely known, as
for example the filters or the kill files, but it could be proven very useful
especially in cases of large volumes of messages.

The idea is simple. Every matching message is given a score (negative or
positive). Each scoring rule can increase or decrease the score of a message
by adding the specified in the filter score value until all scoring rules have
been processed. The highest is the score, the biggest is the probability that
you have actual interest in message.

After that what you can do is limited by your imagination. For example you can
flag messages/assign colour etc. You can sort the views by having the highest
scored messages displayed on top, you can trash negative scores or whatever!

The score rules must be evaluated before the other filter rules if you want to
use score as filtering condition. The shortcoming is that mail processing would
slow down (especially if you have many scoring rules).

Examples

Subject match "(beta) is available" score +10
From match "aol.com" score -10
Sender = "My Boss" score +20
