1. A device comprising:
- a processor configured to communicate with a display and detect a user'"'"'s selection indicative of a message items view allowing the user to view multiple message data items in a single view;
the processor, in response to the detected user selection, is further configured to;
obtain the multiple message data items via a message application executable on the device;
arrange the multiple message data items according to a two-dimensional scheme;
generate display data of the two-dimensional scheme of the multiple message data items for display such that the multiple message data items can be viewed in the single view according to the two-dimensional scheme;
wherein each message data item comprises a message body and the generated display data for each message data item comprises at least a portion of the message body; and
output the generated display data to the display; and
wherein the processor is configured to receive user entered data indicative of a user input command related to a selected message data item, the user entered data indicating that the selected message data item has been viewed by the user and is to be removed from the two-dimensional scheme, wherein the processor is configured to remove the user selected and viewed message data item from the two-dimensional scheme; and
wherein, responsive to receiving the user entered data indicating that the selected message data item has been viewed, the processor is configured to generate a display data pertaining to a reduced display size of the selected message data item with a reduced amount of information comprising one of a header or banner view containing information of at least one of a message sender, a subject, a time/date, or a combination thereof for a predetermined period of time before the selected message data item is completely removed from the two-dimensional scheme without deleting the selected message data item in the message application.

Abstract
A device is described. The device comprises a processor configured to communicate with a display and detect a user selection indicative of a message items view. The processor, in response to the detected user selection, is further configured to obtain message data items via a message application executable on the device; arrange the message data items in a two-dimensional scheme; generate display data of the two-dimensional scheme of message data items for display; and output the generated data to the display. A method for a device is also described.

12. A method for a device comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a user selection indicative of a message items view allowing the user to view multiple message data items in a single view, and in response to the detected selection, performing the steps of; obtaining the multiple message data items via a message application executable on the device; arranging the multiple message data items in a two-dimensional scheme; generating display data of the two-dimensional scheme of message data items for display such that the multiple message data items can be viewed in the single view according to the two-dimensional scheme; wherein each message data item comprises a message body and the generated display data for each message data item comprises at least a portion of the message body; and outputting the generated display data to a display; the method comprising receiving user entered data indicative of a user input command related to a selected message data item, the user entered data indicating that the selected message data item has been viewed by the user and is to be removed from the two-dimensional scheme, and wherein the method comprises the step of removing the user selected message data item from the two-dimensional scheme; and responsive to receiving the user entered data indicating that the selected message data item has been viewed, generating display data pertaining to a reduced display size of the selected message data item with a reduced amount of information comprising one of a header or banner view containing information of at least one of a message sender, a subject, a time/date, or a combination thereof for a predetermined period of time before the selected message data item is removed from the two-dimensional scheme without deleting the selected message data item in the message application. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions which, when executed, cause a processor to perform a method comprising the steps of:
detecting a user selection indicative of a message items view allowing the user to view multiple message data items in a single view, and in response to the detected selection, performing the steps of; obtaining the multiple message data items via a message application executable on the device; arranging the multiple message data items in a two-dimensional scheme; generating display data of the two-dimensional scheme of the multiple message data items for display such that the multiple message data items can be viewed in the single view according to the two-dimensional scheme; wherein each message data item comprises a message body and the generated display data for each message data item comprises at least a portion of the message body; and outputting the generated display data to a display; the method comprising receiving user entered data indicative of a user input command related to a selected message data item, the user entered data indicating that the selected message data item has been viewed by the user and is to be removed from the two-dimensional scheme, and wherein the method further comprises the step of removing the user selected message data item from the two-dimensional scheme; and responsive to receiving the user entered data indicating that the selected message data item has been viewed, generating display data pertaining to a reduced display size of the selected message data item with a reduced amount of information comprising one of a header or banner view containing information of at least one of a message sender, a subject, a time/date, or a combination thereof for a predetermined period of time before the selected message data item is completely removed from the two-dimensional scheme without deleting the selected message data item in the message application.
