Add metrics about spam mails

[devmount]

Describe the feature you'd like
Some additional insights about percentage of spam mails or similar would be nice.

Additional context
None.

As ThirdStats only does a "current state" analysis, it will be hard to get some useful information here. A good metric would be the ratio of spam and non-spam emails (per day, per year, etc) or at which time spam mails usually drop in. BUT: That would require people keeping ALL spam mails in their Junk folder, which isn't good practice and very few people do this I think.

Any additional ideas on this topic? Otherwise I will close this for now.

According to the docs, Thunderbird stores 2 information about spam/junk for each mail:

• a junk flag (Boolean)
• a junk score (Integer)

Given these informationen, the following metrics are possible for ThirdStats:

• current number of junk emails existing per account (with e.g. zero junk indication)
• junk score per account
• junk score course per year / per month etc.
• contacts with the highest junk score, indicating emails from which contacts are likely mistakenly to be flagged as junk

Any additional ideas? I will look into how to display these information nice and clean and integrate it with the existing charts.

Currently waiting for an answer to this problem to continue working on this feature:

According to the answer in the proposed thread, I converted message querying from query() to list() and was now able to implement #284 with some basic metrics. As soon as the junkScore issue is solved as well, additional charts may follow. But this is closed for now.
