Abstract: Generation of filtering rules for incoming messages can be activated by a user through a gesture-based input. When the user activates filtering rule generation, the message management service can cause a user device to display a prompt requesting additional data to be used to generate the filtering rule. The gesture can be a swipe and hold gesture, where the swipe is associated with an action (archiving, deleting, deferring, or adding the message to a list), and the swipe and hold action can activate filtering rule generation associated with the action.

Abstract: Users of a message management service can collaborate to draft a message to a designated recipient. One user can create a draft message and identify one or more other users to collaborate on the draft. The users become authors of the draft, and the draft becomes available to each user through a drafts folder maintained for that user by the service. The users can each edit the draft. The message management service can send the draft as a message to the recipient when one or more of the collaborating users indicates that the draft should be sent. The message can include an indication that it is a collaborative message from all of the authors.

Abstract: Filtering rules for incoming messages can be dynamically generated by a message management service based on patterns in the user's behavior. The message management service can analyze event records associating user actions with features of messages to detect correlations between message features and resulting actions, including correlations across multiple messaging accounts belonging to the same user. Based on correlations, the message management service can provide a suggested rule to the user's client device, and the user can accept or decline the suggestion.

Abstract translation: 传入消息的过滤规则可以由消息管理服务基于用户行为中的模式动态生成。 消息管理服务可以分析将用户动作与消息的特征相关联的事件记录，以检测消息特征与结果动作之间的相关性，包括属于同一用户的多个消息收发帐户之间的相关性。 基于相关性，消息管理服务可以向用户的客户端设备提供建议的规则，用户可以接受或拒绝该建议。

Abstract: A reservation system associated with an app installed on a user device can be used to regulate access to network-based features of a primary software service offered by the app. Network-based features can include providing access to online content items. Regulating access to these features can prevent overloading the backend service components that provide the network-based features. Growing the user base in a controlled fashion can benefit the user experience. A waitlist with a countdown can be used for users that have installed the app, but who are not yet allowed access to the network-based features of the primary software service. A user interface can display a reservation status (e.g., how many people are in front of the user in line, how many people are behind the user in line, and the like). This can increase user anticipation of the app features and reduce user attrition.

Abstract translation: 可以使用与安装在用户设备上的应用相关联的预订系统来规范对由应用提供的主要软件服务的基于网络的功能的访问。 基于网络的功能可以包括提供对在线内容项的访问。 调整对这些功能的访问可以防止超负载提供基于网络的功能的后端服务组件。 以受控的方式增长用户群将有利于用户体验。 具有倒计时功能的等待列表可用于已安装该应用程序的用户，但尚未允许访问主要软件服务的基于网络的功能。 用户界面可以显示预约状态（例如，在线用户之前有多少人，在线后面的用户数量等）。 这可以增加用户对应用程序功能的预期，并减少用户的损耗。

Abstract: Message management services for text messages can include converting, modifying, or copying a text message so as to create an email that a corresponds to the text message; adding a subject line to a corresponding email to facilitate grouping, threading, and searching; linking a corresponding email to the original text message to enable a text-message reply to a corresponding email; email-address-lookup services to enable an email reply to a corresponding email; and so on.

Abstract: Techniques are described for managing, drafts of an electronic document (e.g., an electronic note, an electronic message, an electronic calendar invitation, and/or other types of electronic documents) between client devices. Such an electronic document can be composed using different clients, such that composing the document can be continued using different clients. A draft of an electronic document can be stored by clients and/or the message management service as a metadata. A message management service can be implemented as an intermediary computing system to manage a current version of a draft in local storage when a draft is composed using a client device. The message management service can manage version information of a draft that is exists, if any, on each of the client devices. The message management service can synchronize a draft of the message with client devices when a draft is composed using a client device.

Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing messages between client application instances and a message service provider includes a connection service communicatively coupled to a plurality of client messaging application instances; a first intermediary transfer layer with an inbound message data queue that queues message updates of a client application instance and an outbound message data queue that queues message updates and notifications from a mailbox service layer; a mailbox service layer communicatively coupled to the connection service through the first intermediary transfer layer; a second intermediary transfer layer with an mailbox message data queue that contains queued message data directed at the mailbox service layer and a message service data queue that contains queued message updates directed at a message service layer; and a message service layer configured for message interactions with an outside message service provider.
