Electronic message text classification framework selection is described. An incoming electronic message is classified using a current text classification framework. A classification of the electronic message by the current text classification framework is scored. A cost of re-training the current text classification is compared against a cost of switching to a different text classification framework. One of multiple text classification frameworks, which includes the current text classification framework and other text classification frameworks, is selected based on the score of the classification by the current text classification framework and a result of the comparison.
