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.
HTH ;)
