A method for displaying messages is disclosed. The method includes: displaying, on a display of an electronic device, a message thread listing view; while the message thread listing view is displayed, detecting a selection of one of the message threads; displaying a menu overlaying the message thread listing view, the menu including a user interface element associated with at least a reply-to-all action; detecting a selection of the user interface element associated with the reply-to-all action; and in response to detecting the selections of the message thread and the user interface element: automatically identifying an appropriate email message from the selected message thread based on at least a number of recipients of the appropriate message, wherein the appropriate message was received before at least one other message in the selected message thread; and replacing the message thread listing view with a message composition view for composing a reply-to-all message.

Electronic device and method for selectively applying message actions

A system and method for managing a plurality of messages stored at a mobile communication device, groups messages based on a common subject line or another quasi-unique identifier, and displays message group entries representing distinct message groups in a user interface. The message group entries may be displayed in association with an icon representing multiple message states associated with individual messages comprised within that message group. The multiple message states may include all messages being read, all messages being unread, a most recently received message being unread while others are read, and a most recently received message being read while order messages are unread.

Management and display of grouped messages on a communication device

A device, system and method are provided for presenting message threads in a device display where messages may have a persistent or intermediate status. A list of message threads is displayed, collated according to a given message thread attribute, is displayed. When a new message is detected belonging to one of the message threads, if the message has a persistent status it is added to the message thread and the collating message thread attribute for that thread is updated. If the message has an intermediate status, it may be added to the message thread but the collating message thread attribute for that message is deferred until the intermediate status is changed to a persistent status. The collated list of message threads is then updated. By deferring updates to the collating message thread attribute when a message has an intermediate status, disruption to the order of the collated list is mitigated.

Communication device and method for coherent updating of collated message listings

According to embodiments described in the specification, a method, system and apparatus for managing messages at a mobile electronic device is provided. The method comprises: receiving a message and storing the message in a memory of the mobile electronic device; determining, at a processor of the mobile electronic device, if the message passes at least one filter criterion maintained in the memory, the filter criterion for use in generating a primary message view; when the message does not pass the filter criterion, adding a device-side label to the message; generating the primary message view according to the filter criterion; detecting an interaction with the message; and in response to detecting the interaction, automatically removing the device-side label from the message.
