Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing users of a messaging application with controls that perform one or more selected actions with a message. A request to create a new custom action control is received. In response, a graphical user interface (“GUI”) is provided comprising a plurality of action options corresponding to actions to be taken with respect to a designated active message upon selection of the new custom action control. A selection of one of a plurality of action options indicated in the GUI is received. The new custom action control is associated with the selected action option from the GUI such that a subsequent selection of the new custom action control initiates at least one action option. The new custom action control is saved to a network server configured to provide the new custom action control to one or more instances of a messaging application.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a user interface uniting two primary components, a list view and a reading pane, within a message reading application. Technologies are also described for synchronizing status and parameters between the two primary user interface components. In particular, a user interface for reading messages can represent all components of a conversation with both a list view for presenting a message map, and a reading pane for presenting a content view. The list view can present a list of messages grouped by conversation. The reading pane window can contain smaller windows or frames. Each of the smaller windows or frames can contain a message within a given conversation. Synchronization provided between the list view and a reading pane can allow message selection in one of the user interface components to cause display and selection of the corresponding message in the other user interface component.

Abstract: A mechanism for automatically organizing electronic messages is described herein. Social groups of a particular user that may be representative of topics, people, projects, and the like can be automatically learned based at least in part upon historical correspondence of the user. Moreover, messages can be automatically prioritized based at least in part upon historical correspondence patterns. Electronic messages may be presented to the user in accordance with group information and how important the messages are to the user.

Abstract: An aggregate display of contact data from internal and external sources is provided. Contact data associated with at least one contact is obtained from a plurality of sources, including at least an internal source and an external source. The obtained contact data is processed to generate an aggregated collection of contact data. The aggregated collection of contact data is stored. A display of the aggregated collection of contact data is displayed in a single, interactive interface.
