Techniques for Reclassifying Email Based on Interests of a Computer System User

A technique for reclassifying email includes receiving, by an agent executing on a data processing system, a first input from an email filter. In this case, the first input provides a first indication of whether a received email is a junk email. The agent also receives a second input from an application. In this case, the second input provides a second indication of information of interest to a user of the data processing system. The agent then reclassifies the received email based on the first and second indications.
