Predicting recipient communication patterns and availability

A computer program product for predicting communication patterns and availability, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the stored program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to, responsive to a determination that an incoming mail is not an automatic response, allocate an incoming mail identification to the incoming mail;
• program instructions to determine a location of origin for the incoming mail based, at least in part, on domain information and information from an address book, wherein the address book includes an address, an incoming mail timestamp, a sender identification, and the incoming mail identification;
• program instructions to determine one or more holidays, a day of a week, and a time of day utilizing a sending timestamp from the location of origin;
• program instructions to determine a sending tendency for the sender identification based, at least in part, on a frequency of sending activities on the one or more holidays, the day of the week, and the time of day;
• program instructions to determine a response prediction rate for a per-determined timeframe based, at least in part, on the one or more holidays, the day of the week, the time of day and the sending tendency for the sender identification;
• and
• program instructions to display the response prediction rate and the sending tendency in one or more pop-up dialog windows.
