1. A method of presenting a user interface on a communication device on which are stored a plurality of messages, said method comprising:
- receiving a request to present a display list of references to at least some of said plurality of messages, said plurality of messages including a plurality of received messages, a plurality of successfully sent messages and a plurality of other messages, where said other messages are neither received messages nor successfully sent messages;
determining that a configuration option has been activated to omit presentation of references to said plurality of successfully sent messages;
forming said display list of references based on a filtered index of references to said plurality of messages; and
controlling presentation of said display list.

Abstract
Based on user configuration, a main messaging user interface screen on a messaging device either presents a list of references to messages stored on the device based on a complete index of references to the stored messages or based on a filtered index of references to the stored messages. References to stored messages of a predetermined type are not maintained in the filtered index.

6. A mobile communication device comprising:
-
memory for storing a plurality of messages; a processor adapted to; receive a request to present a display list of references to at least some of said plurality of messages, said plurality of messages including a plurality of received messages, a plurality of successfully sent messages and a plurality of other messages, where said other messages are neither received messages nor successfully sent messages; determine that a configuration option has been activated to omit presentation of references to said successfully sent messages; form said display list of references based on a filtered index of references to said plurality of messages; and control presentation of said display list.

8. A method of presenting a user interface on a communication device on which device are stored a plurality of messages, said method comprising:
-
maintaining a master index of references to a plurality of message objects, said plurality of message objects including a plurality of received message objects, a plurality of successfully sent message objects and a plurality of other message objects, where said other message objects are neither received message objects nor successfully sent message objects; receiving an indication of a filtering criterion, wherein said filtering criterion specifies that references to said successfully sent message objects are to be omitted from said filtered index; creating, based on said master index, a filtered index of references to a plurality of message objects that satisfy said filtering criterion, where said creating said filtered index includes; selecting a given reference from said master index; determining whether a given message object corresponding to said given reference satisfies said filtering criterion; and if said given message object satisfies said filtering criterion, adding said given reference to said filtered index; forming a display list based on said filtered index; and presenting said display list. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A mobile communication device comprising:
-
memory for storing a plurality of message objects, said plurality of message objects including a plurality of received message objects, a plurality of successfully sent message objects and a plurality of other message objects, where said other message objects are neither received message objects nor successfully sent message objects; a processor adapted to; maintain a master index of references to said plurality of message objects; receive an indication of a filtering criterion, wherein said filtering criterion specifies that references to said successfully sent message objects are to be omitted from said filtered index; create, based on said master index, a filtered index of references to a plurality of message objects that satisfy said filtering criterion, where said creating said filtered index includes; selecting a given reference from said master index; determining whether a given message object corresponding to said given reference satisfies said filtering criterion; and if said given message object satisfies said filtering criterion, adding said given reference to said filtered index; form a display list based on said filtered index; and present said display list.
