USER INTERFACES AND ASSOCIATED PROCESSES IN EMAIL COMMUNICATION

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed for user interfaces and associated processes in email communication. In some embodiments, information such as address-context information of an email message is rendered to aid the user in various user interface scenarios. These scenarios include user interfaces for the Reply All command and the Send command. A Prompt is provided on the user interface in some embodiments for the usage of commands such as the Reply All command and Send command. The activation of the Reply All command in some embodiments is enabled with a predefined gesture on the user interface that is different from that used for other commands such as the Reply command. In other embodiments the gesture required for the activation of the Send command is changed based on the command that was activated to create the email message to be sent.
