Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, computer program products, and data structures for efficiently storing and accessing electronic messages. Generally, electronic messages are created and transformed in accordance with an electronic message schema hierarchy (150). Electronic messages can be created according to a general message schema (152) that defines a format for data fields that are common to all types of electronic messages (e.g. electronic mail, instant message, fax message). Electronic messages can also be extended according to message extension schemas that define formats for adding protocol specific (161) and/or or application specific (166) data fields to an electronic message. Data fields added in accordance with message extension schemas can differ between electronic messages types. Having some commonly defined fields and other differently defined fields promotes efficient storage and access of electronic messages, while also facilitating message compatibility with existing message protocols and message applications.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, computer program products, and data structures for presenting different types of electronic messages at a common interface. Electronic message items (116) are stored in an item database (114) along with other types of items, such as, for example, contact items, folder items, document items, etc. Electronic message items have some common defined data fields and possibly other differently defined data fields that represent protocol and/or application specific properties. Computer systems can query (107) the item database (114) for message related data (e.g., from commonly defined data fields) and display links to message related data at a common messaging interface. Links to different types of electronic messages (as represented by protocol and/or application specific properties) may be displayed simultaneously at the common messaging interface.

Abstract translation: 本发明扩展到用于在公共接口处呈现不同类型的电子消息的方法，系统，计算机程序产品和数据结构。 电子消息项（116）与其他类型的项目（例如联系人项目，文件夹项目，文档项目等）一起存储在项目数据库（114）中。电子消息项目具有一些公共定义的数据字段，并且可能 代表协议和/或应用程序特定属性的其他不同定义的数据字段。 计算机系统可以查询（107）物品数据库（114）以获取消息相关数据（例如，从共同定义的数据字段），并在公共消息接口处显示与消息相关数据的链接。 可以在公共消息接口上同时显示不同类型的电子消息（由协议和/或应用程序特定属性表示）的链接。
