• providing a content view of the plurality of messages organized chronologically by conversation, wherein the list view and the content view are integrated in a display;
• selecting a first message within the list view;
• and
• in response to selecting the first message within the list view, selecting a second message in the content view, wherein updating a message status of the first message causes updating of a message status of the second message.

A method comprising:

• providing a list view of a plurality of messages organized chronologically by conversation;
• providing a content view of the plurality of messages organized chronologically by conversation, wherein the list view and the content view are integrated in a user interface;
• selecting a first message within the content view;
• and
• in response to selecting the first message within the content view, bi-directionally synchronizing between the content view and the list view such that updating a message status of the first message causes updating of a message status of a second message within the list view, wherein the second message corresponds to the first message.

A method comprising:

• providing a list view of a plurality of messages organized chronologically by conversation;
• providing a content view of the plurality of messages organized chronologically by conversation, wherein the list view and the content view are integrated in one display;
• selecting a first message within the list view;
• and
• in response to selecting the first message within the list view, bi-directionally synchronizing between the list view and content list view, wherein the bi-directionally synchronizing comprises:
• opening a second message in the content list for viewing, wherein removing the first message from the list view causes the second message to be removed from the content view.
