AutoBucket

What is AutoBucket

A Thunderbird extension that automatically sorts emails into several buckets (tags) using a Bayesian filter.

Basic usage

1. Add a classification tag to Thunderbird and restart Thunderbird
2. Select the tag used for classification from the add-on settings and press the save button
3. Let’s learn which tag to assign from AutoBucket in the menu displayed by right-clicking the email
4. After classifying some, right click or shortcut to judge mail. AutoBucket automatically classifies and tags according to the learning content.
5. If you find a wrong email in the classification, please let us know again. Classification accuracy will improve from the next time.

Additional Information

• Automatically judge new mail and add classification tag (Thunderbird 78 or later + Autobucket 1.1.0 or later)
• If you want to sort the mails into folders according to the classified contents, please set the sorting with the message filter function of Thunderbird.
• AutoBucket does not execute the mail filter function. This is because I could not find a way to execute the mail filter function from the Web Extension specifications. If you want to execute the mail filter function automatically, please use the regular execution function of the mail filter function.

For users of version 1.1.7 or earlier

Autobucket has changed the data storage destination from Sync storage area to Local storage area from version 1.2.0.

The reason for the change is that even if the data is deleted, the Sync storage area is only set with the deleted flag, and the actual data is not deleted and continues to be accumulated. As a result, Thunderbird started taking a long time.

This change resolves the slow startup issue, but the Sync storage still has data with the deleted flag. There is no particular operational problem with this, but if you are concerned that the data will continue to remain, you can delete the past data by the following method. However, please be careful as you edit the Thunderbird database directly.

1. Download DB Browser https://sqlitebrowser.org/
2. Exit Thunderbird
3. Open storage-sync.sqlite in the folder where the Thunderbird target profile is saved using DB Browser.
4. Execute delete from collection_data where collection_name ='default / autobacket@a-tak.com' and record like'%" _ status ":" deleted "%' on the SQL Execution tab.

This completes the work.
