1. A method comprising:
- receiving, from an electronic message source, an electronic message directed to a user;
detecting one or more online activities associated with the user;
determining an online context of the user based on the detected one or more online activities associated with the user;
determining, using at least one processor, that the electronic message satisfies a capture rule that relates to the online context of the user; and
capturing the electronic message based on the determination that the electronic message satisfies the capture rule.

Abstract
Managing instant messages may include receiving instant messages created by or on behalf of one or more message sources for delivery to an intended recipient. From among the received instant messages, qualifying instant messages may be identified that satisfy a capture rule, and two or more of the qualifying instant messages may be captured. The intended recipient may be informed of the captured instant messages unobtrusively, and also may be enabled to manage the captured instant messages.
