Ask HN: Where can I get a dump of modern emails for ML testing?

3 points by kilroy123 1y ago ↗ HN

I need a dataset of modern emails to test against.

Where can I get a huge sample of anonymized emails from? I'm really struggling to find this anywhere.

depends how modern and whether you need many organizations to test against but wikileaks has lots

I don't know, but you might try asking one of these sub-reddits:

The closest thing I've found to what I'm looking for is https://untroubled.org/spam/

I need real HTML emails that an actual human would have in their inbox, not just spam.

You could try court disclosure docs, but they tend to all be converted to PDFs for lawyers to cope with.

Is the Enron email dataset modern enough?

Nope. I tried.

How ethical does this need to be?
