Folder classification of Urdu and Hindi language e-mail messages

Automatic classification of e-mail messages into folders help recipients to organize messages in their local mail store. Both web and desktop e-mail client applications permit customization to support e-mail classification by defining rules to handle incoming e-mail messages. However, automatic language based folder classification of e-mail messages is neither supported by commercial web mail applications nor by desktop client mail applications. This paper reviews e-mail folder classification and language detection techniques. It proposes the use of Microsoft language translator API service to classify incoming e-mail messages into language specific folders. The evaluation of the proposed procedure by experimentations through a compatible e-mail client utilizing this service developed for the said purpose has shown significant classification accuracy.
