Abstract: Methods, systems, and media are disclosed for managing the routing of an email at the server level to an email client by preferences set in a routing application located on the server. One embodiment includes querying, by a routing application located on a server and associated with an email system, the email by comparison to conditions for each preference set in the routing application, wherein a preference comprises a routing action. Further, the method includes identifying, based on the querying and by the routing application, a match between the email and at least one of the conditions. Further still, the method includes performing, based on the match and by the routing application, the preference associated with the at least one of the conditions of the email, whereby the email is transmitted to an email client.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements of text entry are discussed. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to select segments of text from text files based upon the number of words in phrases of the text files, upon the number of letters in words of the text files, or upon other patterns of the text in the text files. The text files may include web sites and news indexes. Embodiments may also involve indexing the selected segments of text, matching text currently being entered by the user (current text) into an application to a portion of a segment of the indexed text, and entering a remaining portion of the segment of the indexed text into the application based upon the matching. In some embodiments, the matching may be based upon an attribute of text such as a time period, a source, or a recipient.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media are disclosed for managing multiple email addresses, each of which are associated with a known contact, e.g., a specific person. One embodiment includes selecting email addresses for an email to be sent through a computer system in communication with a mail server, wherein the email addresses comprise an email distribution list. Further, the method includes querying, before sending the email, for duplicate contacts associated with the email addresses in the email distribution list for the email. Further still, the method includes updating, after the querying, the email distribution list to the email addresses left in a remaining email distribution list produced through removal, if any, of the duplicate contacts identified by the querying. Finally, the method includes sending the email to contacts associated with each of the email addresses in the remaining email distribution list, wherein the contacts are in communication with the mail server.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for confirming attendance of prospective attendees to a meeting or events via time management or event scheduling applications, such as calendar applications, are disclosed. Various embodiments comprise scheduling the meeting, waiting for a period of time, and automatically sending confirmation requests to one or more prospective attendees of the meeting. Some embodiments also comprise sending invitations to and receiving acceptances by one or more prospective attendees. Some embodiments further comprise receiving one or more responses to the confirmation requests from the prospective attendees. Some embodiments may reschedule the meeting, or events of the meeting, based upon responses to the confirmation requests. Various embodiments may send or receive the confirmation requests and responses via instant messaging (IM) messages, e-mail messages, and short message service (SMS) messages.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for managing events in time management or event scheduling applications, such as calendar applications, are disclosed. Embodiments comprise analyzing event parameters, such as selections from input solicited from prospective meeting attendees that are associated with events of the meeting, determining an arrangement of the events based on the analysis of the event parameters, and proposing the arrangement. System embodiments generally comprise a list of events for the meeting, such as event items in a database, a constraint solver to analyze parameters of events of the list, and an arrangement module to select an arrangement of the events based on analysis by the constraint solver.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements of text entry are discussed. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to enter text selecting text based upon the number of words in phrases of the text, upon the number of letters in words of the text, or upon other patterns of the text. The method may also involve indexing the selected text, matching text currently being entered by the user into an application to a portion of a segment of the indexed text, and entering a remaining portion of the segment of the indexed text into the application based upon the matching. In many embodiments, the text may be selected from the text entered into any of several applications. In a few embodiments, the text may be selected from sources specified by a user. In further embodiments, the sources may constitute data files.

Abstract: An application server administration framework (ASAF) minimizes the number of manual steps during the installation or modification processes by allowing a user to accomplish the installation or modification by entering values in a property file. A deployment script is invoked that identifies changes in the property files, and invokes appropriate procedures from a procedure script. The procedure script links the property file to one or more component scripts so that the values entered by the administrator are populated to the appropriate component scripts. When the values have been populated to the appropriate component scripts, the deployment script invokes the scripting engine which runs the scripts to make the necessary changes to the configuration files for the application server.
