Patent number: 10637813Abstract: A system for identifying attributes associated with content of an e-mail message and alerting a user includes a client device programmed to allow a user to create an e-mail message including at least one recipient and a message content, a server programmed to check an attribute of the e-mail message, and to send the e-mail message, and one or more information stores in communication with the server, the information stores including information about the e-mail message. The server is programmed to query the information stores to obtain information about the e-mail message as the message is being composed by the user, and the server sends a mail tip to the client regarding the e-mail message. The client is programmed to provide the mail tip to the user, the mail tip being formatted and positioned by the client so that it is integrated within a header section of the e-mail message.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2019Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Sara L. Manning, Jesse M. Dougherty, Shawn M. Thomas, Nathan F. Waddoups

Patent number: 8682985Abstract: Architecture that facilitates cross-boundary message tracking based on a trust relationship in existence between a sender network and a recipient network. A tracking service is deployed in each network as a proxy to obtain message events for each hop that passes the message on to the recipient. Tracking can include a search task and a get task. Messages can be found in reports that match message search criteria. The search task returns an array of search results objects, each object identifying a single tracking report. A selected object is pipelined into the get task to return the detailed tracking report for the selected message.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2009Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Gautam Pulla, Yamin Wang, Sara L.

Patent number: 8484512Abstract: A root cause for a failed attempted delivery of a message is attempted to be determined before sending a non-delivery report (NDR) for the failed message. When a message fails without a known cause, the root cause is determined using the context of the message. For a given context, the root cause may be determined by a single failure or it may be determined by the relative number of failed messages delivery are deferred from being delivered, as is generation of the corresponding same context. While determining the root cause of the problem, any messages failing NDR(s), to allow time for corrective action to occur. If the problem is resolved within a predetermined time period, the deferred messages are delivered without having to issue NDR(s).Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2010Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Sara L.
