Abstract
A method, an information processing system, and a computer readable storage medium for at least one of assigning and dynamically adjusting a priority level associated with an email message. The method includes receiving at least one email message associated with a recipient. Definitions of a plurality of priority assignment parameters and respective priority levels that are associated with each of the plurality of priority assignment parameter are accepted from a user. At least one identified priority assignment parameter within the plurality of priority assignment parameters is identified within the at least one email message. A corresponding priority level that is associated with the at least one identified priority assignment parameter is assigned to the at least one email message.
