ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides various simple and easy ways for each end user to manage the thread in a way that suits them. In some cases, the user experience requires only a single click. Additional embodiments allow user to manage inbox space, recover suppressed threads, be alerted on contextual changes of such threads, and so forth. The system allows the user to specifically configure his/her own email thread management scheme by selecting an email and choosing “Suppress Thread” on his/her user interface. The system then performs a number of steps such as examining the <message-id> and <references> headers of the selected email to configure the suppress filter. Once configured, the system will examine each email as it is received and examine its <message-id> and <references> headers per RFC 822. If the headers match the configured <messageid> and <responses> headers, the emails will be suppressed in the manner chosen by the user such as deletion or move to folder.
