Preventing a user from missing unread documents

Abstract

According to one exemplary embodiment, a processor-implemented method for informing a user that an important unread email (IUE) will be removed from an online communication inbox, wherein the IUE is a high priority email determined by an algorithm is provided. The method may include determining, by the processor, if the online communication inbox associated with the user has received the IUE. The method may also include determining if an email removal event associated with the received IUE will occur within a threshold time. The method may then include displaying a notification to the user of the email removal event based on determining that the email removal event will occur within the threshold time.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A processor-implemented method for informing a user that an important unread email (IUE) will be removed from an online communication inbox, wherein the IUE is a high priority email determined by an algorithm, the method comprising:
 determining, by the processor, if the online communication inbox associated with the user has received the IUE;   determining if an email removal event associated with the received IUE will occur within a threshold time; and   displaying a notification to the user of the email removal event based on determining that the email removal event will occur within the threshold time.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining if the IUE is a high priority email comprises using analytics based on a plurality of social collaborative data. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the email removal event comprises at least one of an email deletion event and an email archiving event. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the displayed notification comprises a clickable link, and wherein the clickable link provides a link to an IUE list. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 determining if the email removal event is starting based on determining that the user has IUEs;   displaying an event notification to the user, wherein the event notification provides the user with a plurality of choices to indicate how the IUEs will be processed;   receiving a user choice from within the plurality of choices; and   processing the IUEs based on the received user choice.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the displayed notification comprises displaying text indicating an email removal event type, a number of IUEs, and an amount of time before the email removal event occurs. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining if the email removal event will occur within the threshold time comprises querying the next scheduled email removal event and comparing the next schedule email removal event to the threshold time. 
     
     
         8 . A computer system for informing a user that an important unread email (TUE) will be removed from an online communication inbox, wherein the TUE is a high priority email determined by an algorithm, comprising:
 one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:   determining if the online communication inbox associated with the user has received the TUE;   determining if an email removal event associated with the received TUE will occur within a threshold time; and   displaying a notification to the user of the email removal event based on determining that the email removal event will occur within the threshold time.   
     
     
         9 . The computer system of  claim 8 , wherein determining if the TUE is a high priority email comprises using analytics based on a plurality of social collaborative data. 
     
     
         10 . The computer system of  claim 8 , wherein the email removal event comprises at least one of an email deletion event and an email archiving event. 
     
     
         11 . The computer system of  claim 8 , wherein the displayed notification comprises a clickable link, and wherein the clickable link provides a link to an TUE list. 
     
     
         12 . The computer system of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 determining if the email removal event is starting based on determining that the user has TUEs;   displaying an event notification to the user, wherein the event notification provides the user with a plurality of choices to indicate how the TUEs will be processed;   receiving a user choice from within the plurality of choices; and   processing the TUEs based on the received user choice.   
     
     
         13 . The computer system of  claim 8 , wherein the displayed notification comprises displaying text indicating an email removal event type, a number of TUEs, and an amount of time before the email removal event occurs. 
     
     
         14 . The computer system of  claim 8 , wherein determining if the email removal event will occur within the threshold time comprises querying the next scheduled email removal event and comparing the next schedule email removal event to the threshold time. 
     
     
         15 . A computer program product for informing a user that an important unread email (TUE) will be removed from an online communication inbox, wherein the TUE is a high priority email determined by an algorithm, comprising:
 one or more computer-readable storage medium and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium, the program instructions executable by a processor, the program instructions comprising:   program instructions to determine if the online communication inbox associated with the user has received the TUE;   program instructions to determine if an email removal event associated with the received TUE will occur within a threshold time; and   program instructions to display a notification to the user of the email removal event based on determining that the email removal event will occur within the threshold time.   
     
     
         16 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein determining if the TUE is a high priority email comprises using analytics based on a plurality of social collaborative data. 
     
     
         17 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein the email removal event comprises at least one of an email deletion event and an email archiving event. 
     
     
         18 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein the displayed notification comprises a clickable link, and wherein the clickable link provides a link to an TUE list. 
     
     
         19 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 program instructions to determine if the email removal event is starting based on determining that the user has IUEs;   program instructions to display an event notification to the user, wherein the event notification provides the user with a plurality of choices to indicate how the IUEs will be processed;   program instructions to receive a user choice from within the plurality of choices; and   program instructions to process the IUEs based on the received user choice.   
     
     
         20 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein the displayed notification comprises displaying text indicating an email removal event type, a number of IUEs, and an amount of time before the email removal event occurs.
