Abstract:
An email content management method, system and program are provided for mapping a plurality of received electronic mail (email) messages to a plurality of predetermined graphical representations of an email Inbox. Predetermined sender and originating information is associated with an email. When the email is received by the recipient, the associated sender and originating information is used to map the email to a graphical Inbox depicting the email's originating location. Once mapped, the corresponding email graphical Inbox is represented in a graphical display, such as the user interface of an email client. Graphical Inboxes can be represented as subsets of a geographical map or depict an organizational hierarchy chart. Status information related to the received email messages is generated and display attributes are applied to their corresponding email graphical Inboxes.
