  • Publication number: 20210064192
    Abstract: Stacks that associate different electronic content are created using tags that are associated with electronic content. Stacks may be personal, organizational and/or shared. A tag may be associated with different types of electronic content (e.g. documents, people, contacts, meetings, emails, . . . ) that may be stored in different locations. The tag acts as an identifier that travels with the content as the electronic content is used. Content may be automatically/manually tagged. As the tagged content is used, the different applications that interact with the content (e.g. a messaging application, a content application) can use the tag to perform different actions. Changes to content with a tag may be aggregated such that users looking at the “consolidated” view can see all changes made to content or activity related to that content.

  • Publication number: 20130159429
    Abstract: Messaging content that is associated with a user is selected for sharing and transferring with one or more other recipients. A user may select all/portion of the messaging content to transfer. For example, a user may select a single folder from their mailbox, their entire mailbox, one or more conversation threads, one or more subjects, and the like. The selection may be made manually/automatically. For example, a user may use a graphical user interface to select messaging content to share and/or messaging content may be automatically selected based on a rule and/or some other condition. After selection, the selected messaging content is transferred to the other recipient(s) with which the user has selected for sharing/transferring. The recipient(s) of the selected messaging content may accept/decline the transfer of messaging content. Upon accepting the invitation, the messaging content is transferred and stored in the recipient's mailbox.
