Techniques to promote filtered messages based on historical reply rate
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving an incoming message addressed to a recipient account from a sender account at a messaging system;
determining one or more connection categories between the sender account and the recipient account;
determining a predicted reply rate for the incoming message based on the one or more connection categories, a recipient reply history for the recipient account, and a sender reply history for the sender account; and
choosing a delivery mailbox for the incoming message based on the predicted reply rate;
identifying a most-prominent connection category of the one or more connection categories;
configuring the incoming message with a banner message indicating the most-prominent connection category; and
transmitting the incoming message to the chosen delivery mailbox on a client device associated with the recipient account;
wherein the recipient reply history is based on the historic reply rate of the recipient for messages received from unknown contacts and wherein the sender reply history is the historic reply rate for receiving replies to messages sent to unknown contacts.

Abstract
Techniques to promote filtered messages based on historical reply rate are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a messaging interface component operative to receive an incoming message; and transmit the incoming message to a configured delivery mailbox on a client device; and a destination mailbox configuration component operative to determine one or more connection categories between the sender account and the recipient account; determine a predicted reply rate for the incoming message based on the one or more connection categories, a recipient reply history for the recipient account, and a sender reply history for the sender account; configure the delivery mailbox for the incoming message based on the predicted reply rate; identify a most-prominent connection category of the one or more connection categories; and configure the incoming message with a banner message indicating the most-prominent connection category. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
