Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing group e-mails in an electronic device is provided. A group e-mail message including a request to receive a reply e-mail by a first time may be transmitted to e-mail addresses of at least two recipients. It is automatically determined whether reply e-mails are received from the at least two recipients by a second time. When there is at least one recipient from whom the reply e-mail was not received by the second time, a reminder e-mail is transmitted to the at least one recipient from whom the reply e-mail is not received.
