In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing and interacting with electronic meeting insights are presented. A meeting request that includes a plurality of invitees may be received. The meeting request may be associated with a plurality of related documents based on one or more attributes and a meeting insight related to the related documents may be surfaced. The meeting request may have a low acceptance in relation to a threshold and a corresponding insight may be surfaced to reschedule the meeting. A user may send a time modification suggestion to the meeting organizer and a rescheduling insight may be surfaced. Time and location information corresponding to invitees and the meeting time may be analyzed and reminders may be surfaced for each of the invitees in relation to a meeting location. Attendees may interact with location-based insights to have directions to a meeting surfaced.

Intelligent meeting insights

Described are embodiments for displaying groups of communications, such as messages, as a conversation. Conversations are groups of communications that can be traced back as related to an original communication. The embodiments allow a user to select a conversation mode for displaying communications, e.g., messages, as conversations. In response to the user's selection, embodiments provide for displaying a graphical element associated with a conversation. The graphical element can be selected to display the messages associated with the conversation. Additionally, embodiments provide for selecting a conversation and applying actions to the conversation, resulting in the application of the action to the messages that are associated with the conversation.

Communications grouped as conversations

Implementations of systems and methods allow mobile users to send replies to, or to forward, truncated electronic mail messages, and yet still send the entire body of the original electronic mail message, without having to download the entire body of the mail message locally to the mobile device and then re-transmit the entire message from the mobile device.

System and apparatus for sending complete responses to truncated electronic mail messages on a mobile device

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for enforcing device settings for mobile devices. Generally, a computer system enforces appropriate mobile device settings (e.g., policy and/or configuration settings) prior to permitting a mobile device to access maintained data. The computer system receives a request from a mobile device. The computer system determines that current mobile device settings are not appropriate for accessing the maintained data. The computer system sends device settings, representing a new mobile device configuration that is appropriate accessing the maintained data, to the mobile device. The computer system receives an indication that the mobile device is configured in accordance with the device settings. The computer system permits the mobile device to access the maintained data in response to receiving the indication that the mobile device is configured in accordance with the device settings.

Enforcing device settings for mobile devices

Embodiments described herein generally relate to a method and system of integrating a user's voice mail onto a single voice messaging service, e.g., a Unified Messaging (UM) service, such that a client may access this single source for voice mail retrieval, even where such voice mails are from a variety of sources, e.g., work, mobile phone, etc. A user, or the user's mobile operator, need only agree to accept the service, and the registration and configuration requirements for providing the service and forwarding calls to the service are automatically configured. The user's existing 'speed dial' key or other setting for retrieving voice mail may also be automatically configured to the access number(s) for the service. Configurations may monitor the status of the service and update access and/or forwarding numbers. Voice mail forwarding and settings may also be automatically reverted back to the user's original service.

Message forwarding and retrieval with a single messaging service

An electronic mail (e-mail) display is generated for a user, showing a mailbox for the user. A next calendar item indication is persistently displayed on the e-mail display. The next calendar item includes a countdown timer showing a time until the next calendar item is scheduled to begin.

Displaying a countdown timer for a next calendar event in an electronic mail inbox

A method for accessing offline voicemail messages within a mobile messaging application may be provided. First, a voice mail message may be received and the voicemail message may be transcribed to text. Next, the voicemail message and the text transcription may be stored. The recipient may then be presented with a list of voicemail messages and the voicemail message may be retrieved in response to the recipient. The recipient may read or listen to the voicemail message or both. The recipient may also annotate the voicemail message.

Offline voicemail

Variety of approaches to optimize performance based on behavioral and situational signals are described. A productivity service initiates operations to optimize performance upon receiving a behavioral signal and/or a situational signal associated with a user. The behavioral signal and/or the situational signal are analyzed to infer a usage pattern associated with a component of an application. Next, a failure of the usage pattern is detected in a comparison to an utility threshold. In response, the application is instructed to interrupt an execution of the component.

Optimizing performance based on behavioral and situational signals

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for implementing enhanced search suggestion technology. In at least one implementation, a personal information application includes a search suggestion element in which both search suggestions and contacts suggestions may be presented. The personal information application includes a search element in a user interface to a personal information service in which a search query may be entered. Search suggestions and contact suggestions can be identified based at least in part on the search query and presented via a suggestion element in the user interface. An indication of interest made with respect to a contact suggestion results in the presentation of contact details for an associated contact. The presentation of at least the search suggestions persists while the contact details of the associated contact are presented.

Enhanced search suggestion for personal information services

Provided herein are systems, methods, and software for implementing information management applications. In an implementation, at least a portion of an information management application is embodied in program instructions that include various task modules and a scheduler module. In some implementations the program instructions are written in accordance with a single threaded programming language, such as JavaScript or any other suitable single threaded language. When executed, each task module returns control to the scheduler module upon completing. The scheduler module identifies to which of the plurality of task modules to grant control based at least in part on a relevance of each task module to a user interaction.

Task scheduling based on user interaction
