I don't actually use scoring myself, but it is a neat idea. Each message has a score. The score is determined by rules that you set up. So if you hate emails from "Joe", you can set up a rule that gives messages from Joe a really low score. After a message gets it's score, you can take action based on the score. for instance, you might want to put messages with a high score into a special folder like ~/mail/important or something, and messages with a low score into the garbage.
