Method and system for ordering e-mail

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for ordering electronic mails. The method comprises the following steps: confirming an current electronic mail assemblage to be ordered in the current electronic mail assemblage; confirming current ordering field upon an ordering sequence of a plurality of ordering fields preset; ordering electronic mails in the electronic mail assemblage to be ordered upon the ordering rules corresponding to the current ordering fields and forming at least two electronic mail sub-assemblages; taking at least two electronic mail sub-assemblages as the current electronic mail assemblage and returning the step of confirming the current electronic mail assemblage until the electronic mail ordering to be finished. Meanwhile, the invention discloses a system for ordering electronic mails; therefore, the method and the system enhance the efficiency of processing electronic mails, particularly new electronic mails.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to e-mail processing technology, in particular to an e-mail sorting method and system. Background technique [0002] With the development of computer networks, e-mail has become one of the most widely used communication tools and plays an increasingly important role in people's work and life. Especially at work, email has almost become a must-have communication tool. [0003] People use e-mail to communicate, and it's done through an e-mail client. Most current email clients manage emails in the form of email lists. The e-mail client implements different sorting methods for e-mails, such as performing single-column sorting by priority, or subject, or sender, or time, etc., and displaying the sorted e-mails to the user in the form of a list, In order to achieve the purpose of facilitating users to read and browse e-mails. [0004] However, when the number of emails in the email client is large, it is still difficult for the use...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the existing method for sorting e-mails by a single column can only provide users with the processing priority information for processing e-mails in a very limited way, especially when the user finds whether a certain e-mail has arrived, the user often needs to go through many e-mails. The target e-mail can be correctly located only after sorting, page turning, and searching

For example, in existing email clients, it is most common to sort emails in chronological order, but the priority (urgency) of emails is not in chronological order most of the time, that is to say, the most timely The processed e-mails do not necessarily arrive recently, and the e-mail content may not necessarily be naturally related in chronological order. Therefore, chronological order cannot take into account the processing priority of e-mails, the relevance of e-mail content, etc.

[0006] It can be seen from the above that the sorting of emails in the existing email clients adopts a relatively single sorting method, and the sorting results can only give users less processing priority information for new emails, and the sorting results cannot take into account The logical relevance of the email content, therefore, cannot provide convenience for the user's operation

Especially when there are many unread emails in the email client, the existing single email sorting method cannot improve the user's processing efficiency for new emails
