ABSTRACT:
A system and method for displaying electronic messages is disclosed that includes receiving a query from a requestor and transmitting the query to a conversation management system. A number electronic messages are received from the conversation management system, each message having a unique message identifier. A number of conversations are generated from the messages such that each conversation includes a unique subset of the messages and a respective conversation identifier. A list of conversations is selected from the number of conversations in accordance with a predefined query. The list of conversations is displayed in an order determined in accordance with predefined criteria. Each conversation is displayed as a single item in the list.
