About:
- This program was built by Zachary Fish, Jonathan Motechin, Isaac Richter and Alexander Shapiro for a school wide hackathon in May 2021
- The group won third place champion
Introduction:
- The program allows one to define which previously received emails are considered spam and which are not.
- Once a specified number of emails are categorized, one may enter the subject line of an unseen email, and the program will define this new email as "spam" or "not spam."
- The larger the number of categorized emails, the more accurate the filter.

- If the nltk package is not installed, run "pip install nltk" from terminal
- In the Google Account settings, click on Security. By "Less secure app access," ensure access is turned on
