The timeline may include a focal group that displays detailed information about its contents to the user. Remaining items on the timeline are displayed in less detail and may be positioned to appear further away from the user.

  • Identifying likely recipients of a message
    Patent number: 7543243
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for identifying the most likely recipients for a message or other communication from a source and building a most frequently used list of recipients. The present invention utilizes a contact list and determines the likelihood that a list of recipients from that contact list are the intended targets for a current message. The likelihood determination is made using both how recent and how frequent prior communications were made to particular individuals or groups of recipients. Further, a user is able to switch between a most frequently used list of recipients and full list of contacts.

  • Method and system for identifying junk e-mail
    Publication number: 20040083270
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for use in a computing environment to customize a filter utilized in classifying mail messages for a recipient. The present invention enables a recipient to reclassify a message that was previously classified by the filter, where the reclassification reflects the recipient's perspective of the class to which the message belongs. The reclassified messages are collectively stored in a training store. The information in the training store is then used to train the filter for future classifications, thus customizing the filter for the particular recipient. Further, the present invention is directed to adapting a filter to facilitate better detection and classification of spam over time by continuously retraining the filter. The retraining of the filter is an iterative process that utilizes previous spam fingerprints and message samples, to develop new spam fingerprints that are then utilized for the filtering process.
