An Approach to Email Classification Using Bayesian Theorem

Email Classifiers based on Bayesian theorem have been very effective in Spam filtering due to their strong categorization ability and high precision. This paper proposes an algorithm for email classification based on Bayesian theorem. The purpose is to automatically classify mails into predefined categories. The algorithm assigns an incoming mail to its appropriate category by checking its textual contents. The experimental results depict that the proposed algorithm is reasonable and effective method for email classification.
