Emails are mainly classified into spam and non-spam categories using data mining classification techniques. This paper provides a description and comparative for the evaluation of effective classifiers using three algorithms - namely k-nearest neighbor, Naive Bayesian, and support vector machine. Seven spam email datasets were used to conducted experiment in the MATLAB environment without using any feature selection method. The simulation results showed SVM classifier to achieve a better classification accuracy compared to the K-NN and NB.12720211272021121132https://www.wseas.org/multimedia/journals/control/2021/a185103-976.pdf10.37394/23203.2021.16.9https://www.wseas.org/multimedia/journals/control/2021/a185103-976.pdfZdziarski, J.A., 2005.
