• receiving an indication to generate a group folder corresponding with a plurality of entities of a messaging application;
• generating the group folder associated with the plurality of entities, wherein generating the group folder comprises generating a search query including identifications of each of the plurality of entities;
• providing a representation of the group folder for presentation via a navigation pane of the messaging application;
• receiving a selection, in association with the group folder, to generate a new message;
• and
• generating the new message having a set of recipients designated using the identifications of each of the plurality of entities corresponding with the group folder.

One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving an indication to generate a group folder corresponding with a plurality of entities of a messaging application;
• generating the group folder associated with the plurality of entities, wherein generating the group folder comprises generating a search query including identifications of each of the plurality of entities;
• and
• providing a representation of the group folder for presentation via a navigation pane of the messaging application, wherein
• a selection of the representation of the group folder causes execution of the search query in association with an index of messages to obtain messages associated with the plurality of entities, and
• a selection, in association with the group folder, to generate a new message causes generation of the new message having a set of recipients designated using the identifications of each of the plurality of entities corresponding with the group folder.
