I'm building a system able to classify emails into different categories (positive, negative, out of office, etc...) and I'm looking for a dataset of already classified emails to avoid hand classification on a 70k database.

I know it exists the Enron email dataset but do you know if it exists a version of this dataset with classified emails ? Or any other already classified email dataset ?

You can download the corpus from this site. To the best of my knowledge this is the most complete email corpus available. A project to label a subset of this email corpus can be found on this UC Berkley site. I am not sure though whether these emails have the right training labels for you.

The Enron Corpus: A New Dataset for Email Classification Research paper describes the kind of data set you want.

The paper mentions the following link to download the data set:

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~./enron/

Additionally, the paper also mentions various other papers which have used smaller data sets related to email classification which may not be of much use given this larger dataset.

  • $\begingroup$ No. This paper is about the number of mail per user, the number of message per thread and the number of folder per user but not about mail content classification. $\endgroup$ – Jérémy Pouyet Nov 15 '16 at 15:58
  • $\begingroup$ @JérémyPouyet The paper does mention the task of classifying emails into folders. Please go through section 2 on page 3. $\endgroup$ – Shagun Sodhani Nov 15 '16 at 16:18
  • $\begingroup$ @JérémyPouyet I have added the link to the dataset from the paper. $\endgroup$ – Shagun Sodhani Nov 15 '16 at 16:35
