摘要： A system and method allows an email user to solicit an email thread from another user (or from a server) in situations where the first requesting user may have been added to an email thread after the email thread was started, or in situations where the user may have an incomplete thread (for example, where a user is being added to a thread where an attachment was removed). The complete thread is returned to the first requesting user, after permission has been sought and granted, and after data mining and intelligent aggregation of a plurality of relevant threads in to one interleaved result is performed and returned to the first requesting user.

摘要： A system for minimizing the time required to initiate and terminate an instant messaging session. An initial message in an instant messaging session is checked to determine whether it has any significant content. If the received initial message has insignificant content, then a non-intrusive notification is provided to the user, without changing the current focus in the user interface. A pre-composed response message may also be automatically transmitted to the initiating user, requesting that a more significant message be sent. When an initial message in an instant messaging session is received that is determined to have significant content, the user is promptly notified in a different manner, which may be intrusive such that the current focus of the user interface is changed to a new window or the like containing the newly initiated instant messaging session. Detection of instant messaging session termination by the local user triggers a period of special processing of received instant messages from other participants in the terminated instant messaging session. Instant messages received from other participants in the terminated session during this time period that are insignificant farewell messages are processed without disturbing the local user.

摘要： A system for automatic generation and updating of tags based on type of communication and content state in an activities oriented collaboration tool. Content type tags are automatically generated for content items received from different content sources and aggregated into an activities based collaboration tool. The automatically generated content type tags are associated with content items stored in the activities based collaboration tool. The automatically generated content type tags also provide indications of states associated with the content items they are associated with in the activities tool. As the state of content items change over time, the disclosed system detects those state changes and automatically updates the associated content type tags to indicate the state changes. A top level content type tags view lists all automatically generated content type tags across all activities. The top level content type tags view enables a user to select from the content type tags available across all activities, to cause all content items to be displayed that are associated with the selected content type tag, across all activities. An activity level type tags view lists all automatically generated content type tags associated with content items contained in a currently open activity, and enables a user to select from the content type tags available within the currently opened activity, to cause all content items associated with the selected content type tag, and contained within the currently opened activity, to be displayed.

摘要： Methods and systems of managing calendar alarm notifications may provide for identifying a calendar entry and identifying a working hour range. Additionally, an alarm notification may be scheduled for the calendar entry based on the working hour range. In one example, if it is determined that the calendar entry is scheduled either outside the working hour range or at a beginning of the working hour range, the alarm notification is adapted to occur within the working hour range.

摘要： Linked non-shared documents within email messages are made accessible to a recipient. Upon initiation of sending of an email message by a user, the MIME of the email is automatically parsed through to detect URL tags indicating that a linked document is contained within the email message. Upon detection of a URL tag, the prefix of the URL is checked to determine if it is accessible to a recipient. If the prefix indicates that the link is not accessible to the recipient, the sender is provided with at least the following options for making the linked document accessible to the recipient: sending the linked document as an in-line document by converting the document into HTML format and embedding it into a multi part MIME message, sending the linked document as an attachment with a link to a file system or document library, or converting the linked document into a pdf file and sending it as an attachment. If the prefix is set, by default, as one that is not accessible to the recipient, the option of converting the document into HTML format and embedding it into a multi part MIME message may be automatically selected.

摘要： A system for providing return receipts in an electronic mail (“email”) system. The system provides information in the receipts enabling a user to track messages, and provides controls to sending and receiving users to effectively manage the return receipt feature. The system is not limited to providing receipt information regarding whether the message has been delivered and read, and can provide a variety of information regarding how the message was processed after its receipt. The disclosed system also provides a rich set of options with regard to sending user and receiving user controls over the return receipt feature. A sending user can request that specific receipt information be provided, for certain messages, and/or can individually select specific types of receipt information. The receiving user is also provided with controls for enabling, disabling and/or applying specific conditions to all or certain types of return receipts. In a further aspect of the disclosed system, the return receipt feature can be managed via a globally defined policy.
