摘要:
A method and system are provided for conversation detection in email systems. Multiple email messages are provided and grouped as relating to a conversation. The grouping is carried out by applying a similarity function based on a similarity of the email messages' attributes, the similarity function including a similarity between the email messages' participants and at least one of a similarity between the email messages' subjects or a similarity between the email messages' contents. The similarity function may also include the similarity between the email messages' dates. The similarity function may also include weightings for the contributions of the email messages' attributes. A graphical user interface is provided in an email client which includes means for viewing email messages by conversation.
