    Abstract: An approach for identifying and managing tasks in an e-mail system. An e-mail task manager, receives an e-mail and creates n-grams based on e-mail data content and metadata content. The e-mail task manager identifies the e-mail as a task e-mail based on analyzing the n-grams to detect a task and a task owner. The e-mail task manager determines task details associated with the task e-mail based on the n-grams and determines a collection of recommended actions based on the task details. The e-mail task manager stores the collection of recommended actions and associated action states in a task history store. The e-mail task manager outputs the collection of recommended actions and the action states associated with the task e-mail based on the task owner and updates the collection of recommend actions and the associated action states based on interactions by the task owner.

  • Publication number: 20170187656
    Abstract: A text exchange correspondence conveyed within a computing system can be analyzed. The correspondence can be associated with a sending timestamp. The correspondence can be sent from a sender to a recipient in a social networking system. The correspondence can include a message body and a file attachment stored within a data store of a text exchange message server. The file attachment can be a copy of an original file stored within a different data store. File modification information about the original file stored in the different data store can be retrieved. The file modification information can be compared to the sending timestamp to assess a modification occurrence of the original file after the sending timestamp. An indication of the modification of the original file can be presented within a user interface, responsive to determining the modification occurrence of the original file after the sending timestamp, providing.
