Abstract
The present teaching relates to providing a recommendation for subscribing to or unsubscribing from an electronic communication. In one example, actions of a user are obtained with respect to electronic communications of the user. One or more categories of the electronic communications are determined. A state of the user is determined based on the actions and the one or more categories. The state is either a discovery state indicating that the user expresses an interest to receive electronic communications associated with a specific category or a cleaning state indicating that the user lacks an interest in one or more received electronic communications. A subscribe recommendation for subscribing to electronic communications associated with the specific category is provided when the state is determined to be a discovery state. An unsubscribe recommendation for unsubscribing from electronic communications similar to the one or more received electronic communications is provided when the state is determined to be a cleaning state.
