MailProbe is a generic Mail Filter that uses statistical means to automatically sort emails according to previous learning.
This project is similar to Bayesian Spam Filters such as SpamProbe, but allows one to sort mails into any number of categories.

This Mail Filter is similar to Bayesian Spam Filters such as SpamProbe, SpamBayes, etc, except :
 - MailProbe does support N categories, not just Spam/NonSpam
 - MailProbe does not use a dumb Bayes Rule, but uses a Bayes Rule to sum the weighted probabilities of features extracted by a super-increasing Markovian chain instead.
Most Spam Filters work this way :
 - Every word in the email is an independant feature (which is false : the sentence "BUY VIAGRA ONLINE NOW" has more chances to be spam than "My doctor advised me to take some viagra". Spam use special phrases, not just special words)
 - Take the probabilities of every word to be spam/nonspam, and sum them using Bayes Formula.

MailProbe works the same way, except that every word is not a feature. Every word leads to several features that get weighted differently depending on its context. This way, the filter can make the difference between "BUY VIAGRA ONLINE NOW", which is really commmon in spam, and "My doctor advised me to take some viagra"
