Abstract

Technologies are generally described for providing an email assistant for sorting through emails received at an email application. The email assistant may prioritize emails and group high and low priority emails separately to enable a user to quickly view and manage an email inbox. The email assistant may also provide suggestions on how to sort and manage emails in the inbox of the email application. The email assistant may observe a user's pattern of interactions with types of emails, and prioritize emails and suggest actions based on the user's interactions. The email assistant may be configured to automatically sort emails and provide management suggestions based on a detected scenario such as a user's return after a period of time away, a large influx of emails, and presence detection.
