Abstract
Improving object organization by presenting controlling attribute-specific lists is disclosed. For example, the object can be an email and the controlling attribute the sender of the email. Sender-specific lists are dynamically maintained and can include the most recent folders into which email have been moved. When a current email is selected, or when the user otherwise so indicates, a sender-specific list for the sender of the current email is displayed to the user. The user can select one of the folders from the list into which to move the current email. Besides email, the object can be a file, such that the controlling attribute can be the creator of the file.
