A computerized method for predicting a correct addressee to be filled-in in an addressee field in an e-mail computer hardware system, whereby user-related history information, including the user's prior sent and/or received e-mail, is analyzed for associating the most probable addressee for an e-mail to be addressed, comprising the steps of: analyzing, within the e-mail computer hardware system, at least one of the following attributes of said user-related history information and of said e-mail to be addressed: a subject line of said sent, received, and to-be-addressed e-mail; the length of said sent, received, and to-be-addressed e-mail; the language used in said sent, received, and to-be-addressed e-mail; a time associated with said sent, received, and to-be-addressed e-mail; the vocabulary used in said sent, received, and to-be-addressed e-mail; topics discussed in the body of said sent, received, and to-be-addressed e-mail; the salutation form used in said sent, received, and to-be-addressed e-mail; the closing form used in said sent, received, and to-be-addressed e-mail; whereby Text Mining methods are used to associate attribute values with respective addressees, thus yielding a plurality of single analysis results usable for said prediction, and weighting the plurality of said single analysis results to provide a Data Mining Model adapted to offer at least one top favorite addressee proposal as a prediction result.
