Training ReSieve

Straight out of the box, ReSieve is stupid. It doesn't know what spam is, what e-mail is, or what any of the buckets you specified mean. It's going to take a little time to train it.

When ReSieve Makes A Mistake (...and it will!)

ReSieve's classification system needs to be trained for a while before it becomes effective - the more it's trained, the more effective it becomes. In fact, it won't even classify mail the first time you use it - it'll leave it as "unclassified".

Whenever ReSieve misclassifies an email, or doesn't classify it, head to the interface and take a look at the 'History' (it loads by default). There, you'll see the last twenty or so emails you received, along with how ReSieve classified them. For each email that was wrong, correct ReSieve by selecting the correct classification.

(These emails are already stored - you can happily move them around or delete them in your email program without affecting what ReSieve thinks about them! ReSieve only learns when you reclassify an email - it works under the theory of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.)

Give ReSieve time. The more you train it, the better it gets.

You're done!

And that's the end of the First Time Setup! ReSieve is now ready to rock.
