Multi-lateral email accumulation processing

One or more non-transitory machine-readable media comprising program code for email delivery processing, the program code to:

• and
• based on a reply from the second email agent to the delivery completion request that includes selection of the delivery termination option, terminate delivery of the first email to the first email agent.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a machine-readable medium having program code executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• detect an inactivity indicator associated with a first email agent;
• based on detecting the inactivity indicator, generate and send a delivery completion request to a second email agent from which a first email is received prior to said detecting the inactivity indicator, wherein the delivery completion request includes one or more selectable delivery options including at least a delivery termination option;
