An Approach To Filter Vip Emails Using Dynamic Weight Assignment

Abstract

In the present era, email is one of the most popular, fastest and cheapest tools of
communication. It is used to exchange information among organizations, friends and relatives. Along
with several benefits, this mode of communication has a number of problematic things attached to it.
These problems include unwanted messages that a user has to receive in his inbox and lack of
automation embedded into the email client applications to categories the emails into various labels.
Tremendous work has been done to tackle unsolicited emails, but to the best of our knowledge, very
little effort has been contributed to filter VIP emails, which may be very significant to business users,
decision makers or policy makers. In this paper an approach has been proposed to filter VIP emails
using dynamic weight assignment technique. The proposed technique monitors attitude, habits and
behavior of the user, sequence of opening the emails and ultimately assigns a weight to emails. When
this weight reaches to a pre-defined limit, declares the email as VIP. An algorithm to filter VIP emails
is also proposed. To validate the proposed technique, Intra Organization Mailing Application is
presented.
