The present invention provides a method, system and program product for replicating message status changes across messaging systems. Specifically, under the present invention, when a status of a message for a user is changed on a messaging system, the status change is entered into a log associated with the user along with a clock time of the messaging system. The status change is then replicated to a replica messaging system along with the clock time of the original messaging system. Upon receipt, the replica messaging system will ensure that the status change is the most recent activity for the message. If so, the status change will be entered into a log of the replica messaging system along with the clock time of the original messaging system and a clock time of the replica messaging system.

Method for replicating message status changes across messaging systems

A system, method, and computer readable medium for providing a system user with information updates from web-based or non-web-based computer sources. The system enables a user to subscribe from a computer application (e.g., an electronic mail or calendar application) to information sources. The system presents the user with a subscription view that the user may use to create the subscription through the use of selectable criteria displayed in the subscription view. The user may input search criteria for performing a search of one or more databases. The system searches the databases accessed, and then retrieves the objects matching the search criteria. The system may then notify the user that objects matching the search criteria have been discovered, and store or present the objects.
