Problems solved by technology

Email messages generally arrive quickly (i.e., minutes or less), unobtrusively, and are cheap.
Some courts, for instance, no longer accept paper filings and instead require electronic filings.
The process of reviewing and categorizing all of the emails that may potentially need to be produced can be a time consuming and expensive process.

Embodiment Construction

[0027] The following detailed description of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. The detailed description does not limit the invention. Instead, the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and equivalents.

[0028] An email classification tool facilitates the categorization of email messages. Users may conveniently assign categories to email messages. The assigned categories can later be used when retrieving or otherwise manipulating groups of stored email messages.

Exemplary System Configuration

[0029]FIG. 1 is an exemplary diagram of a system 100 in which systems and methods consistent with the principles of the invention may be implemented. System 100 may include a network 140 (or other communication link) that connects multiple computing entities, such as clients 110, a server 120, and proprietary sub-networks (such as a corporate network) 130. Network 140 may be the Internet, although more generally network 140 may include a local area network (LAN...

Abstract

An email classifier gives users the ability to efficiently and easily assign category information to email messages. The email classifier may present a graphical window to a user interacting with an email message. Through the graphical window, the user enters information describing at least one category to which the email relates. The email and its associated category information may be archived for later access.

Email messages generally arrive quickly (i.e., minutes or less), unobtrusively, and are cheap. For these reasons, email is used extensively in the modern world. [0006] Although email is often thought of as an “informal” communication medium, email is increasingly being used to transmit more formal information. For example, legal and other professional services are increasingly using email to transmi...
