A method of processing messages executes at a computing device having one or more processors and memory. The memory stores one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors. A first message for a user is analyzed for a structured content element. When found, content from a data source distinct from the message is obtained by executing an associated action. A first message display state is formed for the message comprising a message notification and the content. A messaging application user interface, comprising an electronic message list with a plurality of objects, is updated. Responsive to selection of a first object of the plurality of objects, the first object representing the first message, the user is enabled to toggle the first message display state between first and second display states, the second display state differing from the first by providing direct access to the first message.

Systems and methods for improved processing of message queries

A method of processing messages executes at a computing device having one or more processors and memory. The memory stores one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors. Upon identification of a message subset in the plurality of messages pertaining to an event of a first event type or a first entity, an action associated with the message subset is executed thereby obtaining content from a data source distinct from the messages. A graphic compilation is formatted for display in the user in-box of a messaging application. A first portion of the compilation comprises the distinct data source content, a second portion of the compilation lists event items associated with the event or first entity extracted from the message subset, and a third portion of the compilation lists a plurality of objects, each of which is a synopsis of a message in the message subset.

Systems and methods for organizing the display of messages

An email system is disclosed which provides annotations associated with email to recipients and allows the recipients to interact with annotated email. The system receives email and determines whether the received email includes items that should be annotated. Responsive to determining that an email includes items that should be annotated, the system acquires annotated information related to the email. The received email and associated annotated information are stored in the email system. When a request is received to access email for a specific user, the email system displays an email listing, identifying email that is associated with an annotation using a visual representation. If the recipient responds to an annotation, the system receives and stores the recipient's response. The system then sends the recipient's response to the sender of the email. The system also receives updates to received email from email senders and displays email updates to the appropriate recipients.
