ELECTRONIC MESSAGING MANAGEMENT METHOD AND RELATED DEVICES
First Claim
1. Method for managing Electronic messages, said electronic messages being forwarded from an electronic messaging source (ADS) of a plurality of electronic messaging sources (ADS . . . ADSx) towards at least one terminal of at least one corresponding user of a plurality of terminals of corresponding users (U1 . . . Ux) through a communications network, (CN) said method comprising the steps of:
- a. at least one electronic messaging source of said plurality of electronic messaging sources sending said at least one electronic message towards said at least one terminal of said at least one corresponding user, CHARACTERISED IN THAT said method further comprises the steps of;
b. a terminal of a first user and terminals of users related to said first user sending electronic message block preferences towards a community interest management module; and
c. said community interest management module determining community electronic message block preferences based on said electronic message block preferences of said first user and said electronic message block preferences of said users related to said first user.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for managing Electronic messages and a related system wherein at least one electronic message is forwarded from an electronic messaging source of a plurality of electronic messaging sources towards at least one terminal of a at least one corresponding user of a plurality of terminals of corresponding users through a communications network. The at least one electronic messaging source of the plurality of electronic messaging sources send at least one electronic message towards the at least one terminal of said at least one corresponding user. The terminal of the first user and terminals of users related to said first user send electronic message block preferences towards a community interest management module where the community interest management module determines community message block preferences based on the electronic message block preferences of the first user and the electronic block preferences of the users related to the first user.
