Electronic messaging system utilizing social classification rules

摘要

Techniques for identifying and organizing electronic messages are described. With some embodiments, a method receives a user interaction update from a messaging client associated with a first user. The user interaction update has data indicating that the first user interacted with an electronic message. The method may then determine that the first user is associated with a classification attribute that defines a relationship in a social network. Using the user interaction update, the a social classification rule corresponding to the classification attribute associated with the first user is then updated. The social classification rule may include data usable to organize a plurality of electronic messages. Finally, the method may optionally send the updated social classification rule to a messaging client associated with a second user, where the updated social classification rule can be used to organize electronic messages displayed by the messaging client associated with the second user.
