Summary: Spam / ham statistics

Initial Comment:
Possibility to get statistics on how many mails were 
received per hour / day and how many of these were 
spam messages.
It would be great if it could be presented both as 
numbers and graphically (impresses CEO's...). The 
means to print it as a hard copy would be just 
swell... ;o)

It's not exactly what you have asked for, but as a start, are 
you aware that in the logs, each time you shut Outlook down 
it prints a message like:
"SpamBayes processed 555 messages, finding 34 spam and 11 
unsure"

(So you could shut Outlook down each hour/day, to generate 
this message).  It's unlikely that a graphical version would 
ever be made, but it would be easy enough to throw numbers 
like this into Excel and get pretty graphs.

The number of false positives/negatives is more difficult 
because SpamBayes doesn't really have any way to know 
that mail is a fp/fn.  It could print the number of times 
the "delete as spam" and "recover from spam" buttons are 
used, I guess, but this would include all unsure mail, which 
aren't exactly fp/fn's.

I'm just another user but I think this would be a great
addition. I'd also be interested in: number of false
positives (along with percentage of total), number of false
negatives (along with percentage of total) and percentage of
mail received that is spam.
