SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC CONTACT LIST-BASED SEARCH AND DISPLAY

摘要

A request for communications information associated with an entry in a contact list of a computer user is received at a server computer. The request is generated in response to a request for contact information for the entry. The entry is associated with a party. At least a subset of any communications involving both the party and the computer user are identified. The server computer sends a list of communications information corresponding to the subset. The communications information can include, without limitation, e-mail messages, e-mail conversations, instant messages, phone or other audio messages, and multimedia messages.
