1. A method of providing a user interface presenting information at an electronic messaging and organizing system, said method comprising:
- defining an integrated list of individual events that includes summary information for each individual event and wherein each individual event comprises one of a message-related event and a time-organization-related event;
presenting said list of individual events in a graphical user interface display view of an electronic device, the view including a status display portion and an event list portion that shows past message-related events apart from time-organization-related events, wherein a time-organization-related event in the future or past is shown with a start time, an end time and an indication of a duration associated with the start and end times;
visually indicating, within the event list portion, when a particular time-organization-related event in the future becomes current;
providing options for a user to configure removal from said list of the particular time-organization-related event, the options comprising (a) the particular time-organization-related event'"'"'s end time, (b) a predefined time period after the time-organization-related event'"'"'s end time, and (c) the later of (a) and (b);
detecting selection of one of the provided options;
removing the particular time-organization-related event from said list after the visually indicating and in accordance with the selected option;
providing, at least partially over the display view, an option of commands invoking an application associated with a selected event from the list of individual events; and
in response to invoking the application associated with the selected event, displaying a detail view of the selected event, the detail view being navigable to edit the selected event.
