Abstract

Techniques are described herein for managing email traffic and reducing the flow of incoming messages by providing alternate communication service between a sender of an email and a recipient of the email. The techniques include detecting a new email initiated via an email client from a sender's user device, the new email being addressed to a recipient's email address that is associated with a recipient's email account. The techniques also include triggering the email client to display an option for an alternate communication service to communicate with a recipient associated with the recipient's email address based at least on communication settings associated with the recipient's email account. The techniques further include receiving, from the sender's user device, a selection for the alternate communication service to communicate with the recipient.
