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: A system and method for sorting messages within an interface including providing a navigational menu with at least three menu options of at least three message collections, the menu options ordered according to an ordered horizontal virtual arrangement of a set of message collections; upon receiving user selection of one of the menu options, activating the message collection corresponding to the user selected menu option, which comprises—displaying the message collection of the selected menu option and virtually positioning the remaining set of message collections off screen; within the active message collection of the set of message collections, detecting a gesture swipe in a horizontal direction; selecting a sorting option corresponding to a message collection virtually positioned in the horizontal direction relative to the active message collection; and transferring the message to the message collection of the selected sorting option.

Abstract translation: 一种用于对接口内的消息进行排序的系统和方法，包括提供具有至少三个消息集合的至少三个菜单选项的导航菜单，所述菜单选项根据一组消息集合的有序的水平虚拟布置排序; 在接收到用户选择其中一个菜单选项的情况下，激活对应于用户选择的菜单选项的消息收集，其包括 - 显示所选择的菜单选项的消息收集，并将剩余的一组消息集合虚拟地定位在屏幕之外; 在所述一组消息集合的活动消息收集内，检测水平方向上的手势刷新; 选择对应于相对于活动消息集合在水平方向上虚拟定位的消息集合的排序选项; 并将消息传送到所选排序选项的消息集合。

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.
