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 translation: 消息管理服务的用户可以协作将消息起草给指定的收件人。 一个用户可以创建一个草稿消息，并识别一个或多个其他用户协作草稿。 用户成为草稿的作者，草案通过服务为该用户维护的草稿文件夹提供给每个用户。 每个用户可以编辑草稿。 当一个或多个协作用户指示应发送草稿时，消息管理服务可以将消息作为消息发送给接收者。 该消息可以包括来自所有作者的协作消息的指示。

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying threads of related messages. A computer can associate messages with threads by storing a thread identifier (thread ID) identifying a thread and associating the thread ID with a message identifier (message ID) of each known message that belongs to the thread. The computer can inspect a message to determine whether the message identifies a reference message. Before assigning a thread ID to the message or a reference message, the computer can determine whether a message ID for either message is stored in association with a thread ID. If a thread ID is stored for a message ID of either message, the computer can assign the thread ID to message IDs of other reference messages. If a thread ID is not stored for a message ID of either message or is different for either message, store a common thread ID in association with both messages.

Abstract translation: 用于识别相关消息的线程的系统和方法。 计算机可以通过存储标识线程的线程标识符（线程ID）并将线程ID与属于线程的每个已知消息的消息标识符（消息ID）相关联来将消息与线程相关联。 计算机可以检查消息以确定消息是否标识参考消息。 在将线程ID分配给消息或参考消息之前，计算机可以确定是否与线程ID相关联地存储任一消息的消息ID。 如果为任一消息的消息ID存储了线程ID，则计算机可以将线程ID分配给其他引用消息的消息ID。 如果对于任一消息的消息ID不存储线程ID，或者对于任一消息都不存在线程ID，则存储与两个消息相关联的公共线程ID。

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.
