Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for managing messages. Receiving a message and displaying the message based on a categorization of the message sender or, if the message sender is not categorized, displaying a prompt to categorize the message sender.
Claims41
A computer system configured to communicate with a display generation component and one or more input devices, and configured to communicate via an antenna, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving, from a first sender, a first email message that includes a message body content and/or a subject text content, wherein the first email message is received via the antenna;
- displaying, via the display generation component, a set of one or more user interfaces of a mail application that categorizes received emails, by sender, into a first category and a second category, different than the first category;
- and
- displaying, via the display generation component and as part of a first user interface of the set of one or more user interfaces, a first graphical object that corresponds to the first email message and that includes content selected from a group consisting of a first indication of the first sender, at least a first portion of the message body content, and at least a first portion of the subject text content, wherein:
- in accordance with a determination that the first sender is categorized as a sender of a first type that corresponds to the first category, wherein the sender of the first type includes senders to whom one or more reply emails have been sent, the first graphical object is identified as being in the first category and is displayed in an email box for email messages of the first category;
- in accordance with a determination that the first sender has been categorized as a sender of a second type that corresponds to the second category, the first graphical object is identified as being in the second category and is displayed in an email box for email messages of the second category;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first sender is an uncategorized sender, displaying a first selectable option that, when selected, causes the computer system to display a set of one or more graphical objects that correspond to one or more uncategorized senders;
- detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first input corresponding to the first selectable option;
- in response to detecting the first input, displaying, via the display generation component, a sender categorization user interface that includes the set of one or more graphical objects that correspond to one or more uncategorized senders, wherein the set of one or more graphical objects includes a second graphical object that corresponds to the first sender and that includes content selected from the group consisting of a second indication of the first sender, at least a second portion of the message body content, and at least a second portion of the subject text content, wherein the second graphical object is a selectable graphical object;
- detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first set of one or more inputs that includes a second input corresponding to the second graphical object;
- and
- in response to detecting the first set of one or more inputs:
- in accordance with a determination that the first set of one or more inputs corresponds to a request to categorize the first sender as a sender of the first type, categorizing the first sender as a sender of the first type;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first set of one or more inputs corresponds to a request to categorize the first sender as a sender of the second type, categorizing the first sender as a sender of the second type.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, and configured to communicate via an antenna, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving, from a first sender, a first email message that includes a message body content and/or a subject text content, wherein the first email message is received via the antenna;
- displaying, via the display generation component, a set of one or more user interfaces of a mail application that categorizes received emails, by sender, into a first category and a second category, different than the first category;
- and
- displaying, via the display generation component and as part of a first user interface of the set of one or more user interfaces, a first graphical object that corresponds to a first email message and that includes content selected from a group consisting of a first indication of the first sender, at least a first portion of the message body content, and at least a first portion of the subject text content, wherein:
- in accordance with a determination that the first sender is categorized as a sender of a first type that corresponds to the first category, wherein the sender of the first type includes senders to whom one or more reply emails have been sent, the first graphical object is identified as being in the first category and is displayed in an email box for email messages of the first category;
- in accordance with a determination that the first sender has been categorized as a sender of a second type that corresponds to the second category, the first graphical object is identified as being in the second category and is displayed in an email box for email messages of the second category;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first sender is an uncategorized sender, displaying a first selectable option that, when selected, causes the computer system to display a set of one or more graphical objects that correspond to one or more uncategorized senders;
- detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first input corresponding to the first selectable option;
- in response to detecting the first input, displaying, via the display generation component, a sender categorization user interface that includes the set of one or more graphical objects that correspond to one or more uncategorized senders, wherein the set of one or more graphical objects includes a second graphical object that corresponds to the first sender and that includes content selected from the group consisting of a second indication of the first sender, at least a second portion of the message body content, and at least a second portion of the subject text content, wherein the second graphical object is a selectable graphical object;
- detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first set of one or more inputs that includes a second input corresponding to the second graphical object;
- and
- in response to detecting the first set of one or more inputs:
- in accordance with a determination that the first set of one or more inputs corresponds to a request to categorize the first sender as a sender of the first type, categorizing the first sender as a sender of the first type;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first set of one or more inputs corresponds to a request to categorize the first sender as a sender of the second type, categorizing the first sender as a sender of the second type.
13 more elements
A method, comprising:
- at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, and configured to communicate via an antenna:
- receiving, from a first sender, a first email message that includes a message body content and/or a subject text content, wherein the first email message is received via the antenna;
- displaying, via the display generation component, a set of one or more user interfaces of a mail application that categorizes received emails, by sender, into a first category and a second category, different than the first category;
- and
