The action of relocating an electronic message from a designated junk or bulk folder to the primary receptacle for incoming correspondence is a common user task. For example, a legitimate newsletter mistakenly filtered as unwanted requires this manual intervention to ensure its visibility.
Correcting misclassified email enhances the user experience by preventing the oversight of important communications. This process also aids email providers in refining their filtering algorithms, contributing to more accurate spam detection over time. Historically, the increasing volume of unsolicited commercial messages prompted the development of automated filtering, which, while generally effective, occasionally misidentifies legitimate mail.
