Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and system for automatically alerting a user to electronic communication, such as an email message, that is related to a scheduled event such as an upcoming meeting. The method includes automatically scanning a user's calendar for a scheduled event, scanning the user's electronic inbox to find email messages related to the scheduled event, determining if the user requires notification of the incoming email and notifying the user of the incoming email by appropriate mechanisms. The method is enabled to determine the urgency of the email and its relative importance to the user by subjecting the email to a set of user-selected rules. These rules can be based on time constraints, relative importance of the scheduled event, or virtually any other criteria that can be assessed by reference to the subject header, body, or sender of the message.
