Abstract
Usage-based management of email rules is provided. An unused email rule of a set of active rules is identified. In response to detecting that the unused email rule is removed from the set of active rules, whether the unused email rule matches an incoming message is determined. Whether a count associated with the unused email rule exceeds a predetermined threshold is determined in response to determining that the unused email rule matches the incoming message. The unused email rule is restored to the set of active rules in response to determining that the count exceeds the predetermined threshold.
