Mail separator

A mail separator is a device or software that separates incoming emails into different folders or categories based on specific criteria. Here are some common types of mail separators:

  1. Rules-based separators: These separators use predefined rules to sort emails into different folders. For example, you can set a rule to move all emails from a specific sender or with a specific subject line to a particular folder.
  2. Keyword-based separators: These separators use keywords or phrases to identify and separate emails. For example, you can set a separator to move all emails containing the word "urgent" to a specific folder.
  3. Filter-based separators: These separators use filters to separate emails based on specific criteria such as sender, recipient, subject, body, or attachments.
  4. Machine learning-based separators: These separators use machine learning algorithms to learn from your email behavior and automatically separate emails into different folders based on your preferences.
