Ella has this special something, the je-ne-sais-quoi of great software. Ella is appallingly simple, and it simply works.
Using associative memory (an tool of artificial intelligence), Ella for Spam Control learns by surprisingly few examples what spam, and what important mail looks like for you. So Ella not only moves spam out of sight and to its special folder, it also files non-priority mail to a folder for later review.
If Ella makes a mistake judging which folder a message belongs to, correcting it is easy, and Ella keeps learning.
It's a pity Ella only works with Outlook and Outlook Express, and given the problems of larger associative memories it may be interesting to see how well Ella for Spam Control performs with its memory filled with lots and lots of mail. It would also be great if custom categories could be defined in Ella.
