e-mail filtering assistant

Hi everybody, I am working on this project to filter out my e-mail accounts. I have several emails from work and personal. Every week I receive around 500 emails. A real pain in ^#$%

I have been working on an app with local model so my info doesn't leave my local hardware (I don't like sharing my nor my companies info with external models).

Instead of working around figuring out what works and what doesn't work I decided to ask the community.

My local setup and some workaround I found working with Mail app is that you can use it with a cron on the background to filter by category any number of email accounts including gmail, yahoo, outlook and imap accounts.

So far I have accomplished the app to flag important emails and the ones it can't solve by itself. I have managed to reduce my emails from +13,000 to only a couple of dozen a week. It has its hiccups and the filtering is not perfect which leads me to ask the community if someone has a similar challenge and how did you resolved it.

There are some solutions out there but the config process is really tedious with less than optimal results, just as the cron I configured.

Any ideas or suggestions will be very appreciated (don't mind my grammar, not my native tongue) :)
