Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to processing and organizing electronic content. In accordance with one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided that comprises detecting a user interaction with the user interface and determining if the detected user interaction corresponds to (i) a dragging of at least one electronic message to an empty content stack or (ii) a dragging of at least one electronic message to an existing content stack. The method further comprises generating a new content stack on the user interface, if the detected user interaction corresponds to a dragging of at least one electronic message to an empty content stack, and updating the existing content stack on the user interface, if the detected user interaction corresponds to a dragging of at least one electronic message to the existing content stack.

detecting, with at least one processor, a user interaction with the user interface;

determining if the detected user interaction corresponds to (i) a dragging of at least one electronic message to an empty content stack or (ii) a dragging of at least one electronic message to an existing content stack;

generating a new content stack on the user interface, if the detected user interaction corresponds to a dragging of at least one electronic message to an empty content stack; and

updating, with the at least one processor, the existing content stack on the user interface, if the detected user interaction corresponds to a dragging of at least one electronic message to the existing content stack.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein generating a new content stack comprises:

obtaining information related to the at least one electronic message dragged to the empty content stack; and

generating instructions to display at least one customized dialog on the user interface, the at least one customized dialog incorporating the obtained information related to the at least one electronic message.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein the at least one customized dialog incorporates the information related to the at least one electronic message in a suggested name for the new content stack.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein the at least one customized dialog provides a set of rules for the new content stack based on the obtained information.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein the at least one customized dialog provides an option to associate additional electronic messages, that satisfy the set of rules, with the new content stack.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the obtained information includes keywords extracted from the at least one electronic message, and wherein the set of rules includes the keywords for filtering the additional electronic messages.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the set of rules includes information that identifies a sender or a recipient for filtering the additional electronic messages.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein obtaining the information includes detecting a group address in the at least one electronic message.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein updating the existing content stack includes:

obtaining information related to the at least one electronic message; and

generating instructions to display at least one customized dialog on the user interface, the at least one customized dialog incorporating the obtained information related to the at least one electronic message.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9, wherein the at least one customized dialog includes a field for renaming the existing content stack.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein detecting the user interaction comprises detecting user interaction based on at least one of cursor coordinates and stack coordinates associated with the user interface.

12. A system for updating content stacks displayed on a user interface, the system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a storage device that stores a set of instructions, the set of instructions being executable by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to;

detect a user interaction with the user interface;

determine if the detected user interaction corresponds to (i) a dragging of at least one electronic message to an empty content stack or (ii) a dragging of at least one electronic message to an existing content stack;

generate a new content stack on the user interface, if the detected user interaction corresponds to a dragging of at least one electronic message to an empty content stack; and

update the existing content stack on the user interface, if the detected user interaction corresponds to a dragging of at least one electronic message to the existing content stack.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein set of instructions further cause the at least one processor to:

obtain information related to the at least one electronic message dragged to the empty content stack; and

generate instructions to display at least one customized dialog on the user interface, the at least one customized dialog incorporating the obtained information related to the at least one electronic message.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the at least one customized dialog incorporates the information related to the at least one electronic message in a suggested name for the new content stack.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the at least one customized dialog provides a set of rules for the new content stack based on the obtained information.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein the at least one customized dialog provides an option to associate additional electronic messages, that satisfy the set of rules, with the new content stack.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the obtained information includes keywords extracted from the at least one electronic message, and wherein the set of rules includes the keywords for filtering the additional electronic messages.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the set of rules includes information that identifies a sender or a recipient for filtering the additional electronic messages.

21. The system of claim 20, wherein the at least one customized dialog provides a field for renaming the existing content stack.

22. The computer-implemented method of claim 12, wherein the set of instructions further cause the at least one processor to:

detect the user interaction based on at least one of cursor coordinates and stack coordinates associated with the user interface.

23. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:

detect a user interaction with a user interface;

determine if the detected user interaction corresponds to (i) a dragging of at least one electronic message to an empty content stack or (ii) a dragging of at least one electronic message to an existing content stack;
