A method and an electronic device are provided that include receiving at the electronic device a start and an end of an out-of-office period and an out-of-office preference for responding to new invitations to events occurring during the out-of-office period received at the electronic device, receiving at the electronic device a new invitation to an event occurring during the out-of-office period, and automatically transmitting at the electronic device a response to the new invitation based on the out-of-office preference.

Electronic device and method for automatically responding to calendar event notifications

An electronic user deviceis disclosed in which a user interfacefor an email application is displayed. The user interfaceincludes an email threadand a selectable calendar look-up banner. Upon selection of the calendar look-up bannerthe user deviceis configured to retrieve electronic calendars respectively associated with the email users identified in the email thread. A score is then calculated for a plurality of time slots in the retrieved electronic calendars, and the time slots are displayed according to their score. A user can then make a selection of one of the time slots. A calendar event is then populated with information derived from the email threadand is sent to each of the email addresses in the thread, to be added to their electronic calendars.

Calendar and email application

According to one aspect, a method of previewing multimedia data, including selecting a first graphical representation in association with a multimedia object, displaying the first graphical representation, receiving an input in relation to the first graphical representation, in response to the input, determining whether to change the first graphical representation, and if so then selecting a second graphical representation from the multimedia object in a randomized manner, and displaying the second graphical representation.

Methods and electronic devices for selecting and displaying thumbnails

A method, system and apparatus for controlling access to a media server are provided. A browse request is received at a computing device, from a remote computing device to browse a memory structure including content files. Authentication of the remote computing device is initiated. Prior to the remote computing device being authenticated, a response is transmitted to the remote computing device indicative that the memory structure is empty of the content files, regardless of actual content of the memory structure. After the remote computing device is authenticated, a further response is transmitted to the remote computing device indicative of the actual content of the memory structure.
