POPFile Utilities

POPFile is an automatic email classification tool authored by John Graham-Cumming available from SourceForge.

The utilities here are helper utilities primarily intended for advanced users of POPFile. Although developed on the Windows platform, the author believes they are platform independent and will work properly on non-Windows POPFile installs, but has not tested on those platforms. UPDATE: June 19, 2003 A GNU Linux user, Martin Geisler, reports these utilities seem to work fine under GNU Linux, his report is here. Thanks Martin!
