Abstract: When a user enters an email address associated with a remote message server account in a configuration area on a display, one or more suggestions for other field inputs are made based on canonical data or historical data from a variety of users. If the user cannot find a desired entry in the suggestions, the user may enter new information. The newly entered information (once validated) improves the prediction capability for subsequent users. A database stores information associated with each email address domain name including one or more remote message server names, one or more username patterns and ranking values. When more than one suggestion for a field is presented to a user, the suggestions are ranked in accordance with the respective ranking values such as by the popularity of a particular configuration.

Abstract: Users are shown how a web page has been modified from a previous version. Information related to differences between the current version of the web page and a previous version of the web page is provided in response to user-initiated activity within a predefined region of the current version of the web page. In some embodiments, when a user attempts to activate a feature of the web page at a location associated with a former location of the feature in a previous version of the page, the feature is activated, but update information related to the differences between the previous and current versions of the web page is displayed over at least a portion of the information generated by activation of the feature. In some embodiments, the user is required to perform a specific action in order to clear the display of the update information.
