Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a user with a busy inbox I might delete (automated) emails of one particular sender very often. If, by chance, the sender matches the characteristics of another sender that has lots of important emails, the Mail app will also mark these less important messages as important. This is because once a message has been deleted, Mail is unable to learn from it.

Describe the solution you'd like

No specific ideas yet. We might have to collect (meta) data about deleted messages of senders or similar. Then we let this data flow into the classifier training to steer the results into a more reasonable direction.
