Each folder has an option to enable automatic message classification.
When this is turned on, new messages in other folders which the classifier thinks belong to that folder will be automatically moved.
The option *Use local spam filter* turns on message classification and auto classification for the spam folder.
The option *Use local spam filter* in the report spam dialog turns on message classification and auto classification for the spam folder.
Please understand that this is not a replacement for the spam filter of the email server and can result in false positives.

Each time you move a message out of this folder you'll train FairEmail that similar messages do not belong in this folder.
After moving some messages into the folder, FairEmail will start to move messages automatically into this folder.

Classification should be considered as a best guess - it might be a wrong guess, or the classifier might not be confident enough to make any guess.
If the classifier is unsure, it will simply leave an email where it is.

To prevent the email server from moving a message into the spam folder again and again,
auto classification out of the spam folder will not be done.
The message classifier calculates the chance a message belongs in a folder (class).
There are two options in the miscellaneous settings that control if a message will be automatically moved into a folder,
provided that auto classification is enabled for the folder:
* *Minimum class chance*: the minimum chance a message belongs in a folder (default 20 %)
* *Minimum class difference*: the minimum difference with the next best folder (default 50 %)
Considering the defaults option values:
* Apples 40 % and bananas 30 % would be disregarded because the difference of 25 % is below the minimum of 50 %
* Apples 15 % and bananas 5 % would be disregarded because the chance for apples is below the minimum of 20 %
* Apples 50 % and bananas 20 % would result in selecting apples
Classification is optimized to use as little resources as possible, but will inevitably use some extra battery power.
You can delete all classification data by turning classification three times off.
