  • Patent number: 12561868
    Abstract: The system obtains emails sent to a user, an email among the emails, and a sender of the email and determines whether the sender provided an image representing the sender. Upon determining that the sender did not provide the image, the system obtains the image representing the sender. The system identifies a subset of emails, where each email in the subset of emails is from the sender. The system presents in an email interface the subset of emails along with the image representing the sender. The system obtains an indication from the user to change the image, and in response obtains images representing the sender by searching a database of images. The system presents the images to the user and obtains a selected image from the user. The system replaces in the email interface the image representing the sender with the selected image to obtain an updated email interface.
