Summary: Spam / ham statistics

Initial Comment:
Possibility to get statistics on how many mails were 

received per hour / day and how many of these were 

spam messages.

It would be great if it could be presented both as 

numbers and graphically (impresses CEO's...). The 

means to print it as a hard copy would be just 

swell... ;o)

Note that the plug-in has basic stats information (cvs 

version) now, although it's still only on a per session basis 

(this will no doubt improve at some point).



The web interface (for non-plugin users) also now (cvs head) 

has basic stats, which are persisted between sessions.



Any opinions on which statistics would be best to add?

It's not exactly what you have asked for, but as a start, are 

you aware that in the logs, each time you shut Outlook down 

it prints a message like:

"SpamBayes processed 555 messages, finding 34 spam and 11 

unsure"



(So you could shut Outlook down each hour/day, to generate 

this message).  It's unlikely that a graphical version would 

ever be made, but it would be easy enough to throw numbers 

like this into Excel and get pretty graphs.



The number of false positives/negatives is more difficult 

because SpamBayes doesn't really have any way to know 

that mail is a fp/fn.  It could print the number of times 

the "delete as spam" and "recover from spam" buttons are 

used, I guess, but this would include all unsure mail, which 

aren't exactly fp/fn's.

I'm just another user but I think this would be a great

addition. I'd also be interested in: number of false

positives (along with percentage of total), number of false

negatives (along with percentage of total) and percentage of

mail received that is spam.
