In accordance with the present invention, multiple e-mails are received at
a network server intended for multiple clients served by the network
server. The received e-mails are analyzed to determine patterns of
similarity. A selection of similar e-mails are predicted and classified as
potentially undesirable e-mail according to the analysis. Upon accessing
e-mails from the network server at a data processing system in association
with a particular client, the accessed e-mails classified as potentially
undesirable e-mail are displayed in a distinct manner from a remainder of
the accessed e-mails. Thereafter, in response to a single action by the
particular client, the e-mails classified as potentially undesirable
e-mail are removed from display, such that the particular client is
enabled to efficiently manage removal of e-mails predicted as undesirable
by a network server.
