First of all: I appreciate any attempt to make email classification more "smart" . Actually, there is nothing dumber than standard techniques like manually setting filters.

This said, I wonder why it seems to be so incredibly challenging to introduce such functionality.
I enjoyed the built-in M2 Email client of the Opera browser from 2004 to 2013 till they finally dropped support for Linux and all went down the drain.

The M2 client had a "simple" technique: For each folder you created, you could tick "learn from email". When now an email was dragged into a folder, it learned with simple ham-spam-like classification if a mail fit there or not.
In the beginning, a lot mails ended up in all folders, but by drag-and-drop you were able to train the classification easily. The classification-file was just a text-file where you could check for each folder, which keywords were created by the system.

17 years later, I still find myself in email-stoneage, and all I can find is unintuitive, half-ready ****, that is no fun at all.
