Abstract
Mutable message attribute techniques are described. In one or more implementations, functionality is exposed, via a user interface, that is configured to receive one or more inputs to specify an action and one or more conditions for an attribute of a message that is mutable over time. A rule is configured to perform the action to one or more messages in accordance with the one or more conditions for the attribute that is mutable over time.
Claims20
A method implemented by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
- exposing functionality, via a user interface, that is configured to receive one or more inputs to specify an action and one or more conditions for an attribute of a message that is mutable over time;
- and
- configuring a rule to perform the action to one or more messages in accordance with the one or more conditions for the attribute that is mutable over time.
A method implemented by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
- configuring a rule based on one or more inputs received from a user via a user interface, the rule defining a particular sender, an action to be performed on messages received from the particular sender, and one or more conditions for an attribute of the messages that is mutable over time;
- and
- managing one or more messages received from the particular sender at a user's account based on the rule.
A method implemented by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
- determining whether to perform an action to an email received from a sender specified in a rule based on whether one or more conditions for an attribute of the message that is mutable over time has been met;
- and
- responsive to the determination that the one or more conditions are met by the email, performing the action to the email.
