Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer programming products are provided for silencing message threads. Incoming messages related to the same matter are grouped into one or more message threads. A user can select to silence a message thread. Once a message thread has been silenced, the user will no longer receive notifications of new messages added to the thread. Methods, systems, and computer programming products display new incoming electronic messages flagged as silenced in the inbox together with any message thread not flagged as silenced.
